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:

  1. In the Abstract and the Introduction sections, “infection-free” should be corrected to “uninfected.”

  2. In the Local and Global Stability of the Equilibria section, there were the following errors:
    1. “We can denote the basic reproduction number of the HIV virus for the model (3) as R0=(/pu)x0, x0=T/2rrd+rd2+4sr/T (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=(/pu)x0 (see, for example, [3]).”
    2. 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.”
    3. The sentence “When R0 < 1, pukδx0 ≠ 0. Therefore, λ=0 is not root of (9). If (8) has pure imaginary root λ=(ω > 0) for some τ > 0, substituting it into (8) and separating the real and imaginary parts,” should be corrected to “When R0 < 1, pukδx0 ≠ 0. Therefore, λ=0 is not root of (9). If (9) has pure imaginary root λ=(ω > 0) for some τ > 0, substituting it into (9) and separating the real and imaginary parts.”
    4. The sentence “Then, we get the corresponding τk(n) > 0 such that (23) has pure imaginary λ=k,” should be corrected to “Then, we get the corresponding τk(n) > 0 such that (19) has pure imaginary λ=k.”
    5. The sentence “From (19), we obtain b2ω2+b32=(ω3a2ω)2+(a1ω2a3)2” should be corrected to “From (22), we obtain b22ω2+b32=(ω3a2ω)2+(a1ω2a3)2.”
    6. Equation (L) should be corrected as follows:
dResλdτ1λ=iωk=3vk3+2c1vk2+c2vkωk2b22ωk2+b32=vkhvkωk2b22ωk2+b32. (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.
