Abstract EN
Modeling, analysis, and control of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection have attracted the interests of mathematicians during the recent years.
Several mathematical models exist and adequately explain the HBV dynamics as well as the effect of antiviral drug therapies.
However, none of these models can completely exhibit all that is observed clinically and account the full course of infection.
Besides model inaccuracies that HBV dynamics models suffer from, some disturbances/uncertainties from different sources may arise in the modeling.
In this paper, the HBV dynamics is described by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
The disturbances or uncertainties are modeled in the HBV dynamics model as additive bounded disturbances.
The model is incorporated with two types of drug therapies which are used to inhibit viral production and prevent new infections.
The model can be considered as nonlinear control system with control input is defined to be dependent on the drug dose and drug efficiency.
We developed treatment schedules for HBV infected patients by using multirate model predictive control (MPC).
The MPC is applied to the stabilization of the uninfected steady state of the HBV dynamics model.
The inherent robustness properties of the MPC against additive disturbances are also shown.
