Abstract |
|
This paper deals with further developments on a mathematical model recently proposed for the modeling of the acute
inflammatory response to infection or trauma. In particular in order to take into account that some interactions have not an immediate
effect, we introduce time delays. Specifically the paper deals with the existence of steady states, determining the parameter regimes
where the equilibrium points are stable, and the onset of Hopf bifurcation appears. Numerical simulations are performed with the main
aim of supporting the analytical results and investigate further dynamics. |
