Abstract

In this paper a new non linear deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of Lipodystrophy in HIV patients will be derived. A numerical scheme for the model has been designed and compared with some standard numerical methods. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis on the parameters is presented.
