ABSTRACT
In this paper, we will consider three deterministic models for the study of the interaction between the human immune system and a virus: the logistic model, the Gompertz model, and the generalized logistic model (or Richards model). A qualitative analysis of these three models based on dynamical systems theory will be performed by studying the local behavior of the equilibrium points and obtaining the local dynamics properties from the linear stability point of view. Additionally, we will compare these models in order to understand which is more appropriate to model the interaction between the human immune system and a virus. Some natural medical interpretations will be obtained, which are available for all three models and can be useful to the medical community.
