On a fractional-order model for HBV infection with cure of infected cells

In this work, a fractional-order model for HBV infection with cure of infected cells is considered. Local asymptotic stability of equilibria is discussed. Numerical simulation using PECE method is presented to illustrate the theoretical analysis. It has been noticed that when introducing a fractional-order derivative to the model, the peak of the infection is reduced, however, the disease takes a longer time to be eradicated.
