In the article titled “Modeling Inhibitory Effect on the Growth of Uninfected T Cells Caused by Infected T Cells: Stability and Hopf Bifurcation” [1], there were several errors throughout the article which are as follows:
In the Abstract and the Introduction sections, “infection-free” should be corrected to “uninfected.”
- In the Local and Global Stability of the Equilibria section, there were the following errors:
- “We can denote the basic reproduction number of the HIV virus for the model (3) as R0=(kδ/pu)x0, (see, for example, [3])” should be corrected to “We can denote the basic reproduction number of the HIV virus for the model (3) as R0=(kδ/pu)x0 (see, for example, [3]).”
- The sentence “Proof. We consider linear system of the model (3) in E0 near;” should be corrected to “Proof. We consider linear system of the model (3) at E0.”
- The sentence “When R0 < 1, pu − kδx0 ≠ 0. Therefore, λ=0 is not root of (9). If (8) has pure imaginary root λ=iω(ω > 0) for some τ > 0, substituting it into (8) and separating the real and imaginary parts,” should be corrected to “When R0 < 1, pu − kδx0 ≠ 0. Therefore, λ=0 is not root of (9). If (9) has pure imaginary root λ=iω(ω > 0) for some τ > 0, substituting it into (9) and separating the real and imaginary parts.”
- The sentence “Then, we get the corresponding τk(n) > 0 such that (23) has pure imaginary λ=iωk,” should be corrected to “Then, we get the corresponding τk(n) > 0 such that (19) has pure imaginary λ=iωk.”
- The sentence “From (19), we obtain b2ω2+b32=(ω3 − a2ω)2+(a1ω2 − a3)2” should be corrected to “From (22), we obtain b22ω2+b32=(ω3 − a2ω)2+(a1ω2 − a3)2.”
- Equation (L) should be corrected as follows:
| (L) |
(iii) In the Simulations and Conclusions section, the sentence “By direct calculations, we get that (19) has a positive root;” should be corrected to “By direct calculations, we get that (24) has a positive root.”
(iv) The formats of references 2, 14, 25, 26, 27, and 29 were updated.
This has been corrected in place.
