Neuro-Optimized Numerical Treatment Of Hiv Infection Model

In this paper, a neuro-optimized numerical method is presented for approximation of HIV virus progression model in the human body. The model is composed of coupled nonlinear system of differential equations (DEs) containing healthy and infected T-Cells and HIV free virus particles. The coupled system is transformed into feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) with Mexican hat wavelet function in the hidden layers. Two meta-heuristic algorithms based on chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) and its hybrid version with local search technique are exploited to tune the parameters of ANN in an unsupervised manner of error function. A comprehensive testbed is established to observe the virus growth per day with performance metric containing fitness value, computational time complexity and convergence. The proposed solutions are compared with state of art Runge-Kutta method and Legendre Wavelet Collocation Method (LWCM). The core advantages of the proposed scheme are getting the solution on continuous grid, consistent convergence, simplicity in implementation and handling strong nonlinearity effectively.
