A dynamically-consistent nonstandard finite difference scheme for the SICA model

In this work, we derive a nonstandard finite difference scheme for the SICA (Susceptible–Infected–Chronic–AIDS) model and analyze the dynamical properties of the discretized system. We prove that the discretized model is dynamically consistent with the continuous, maintaining the essential propertie...
