In recent years, the parity time(PT) symmetry was introduced in integrable systems, numerous simple and integrable nonlocal integrable equations have been discovered, such as the classical nonlinear Schrödinger(NLS) equation. Recently, Ablowitz and Musslimani derived the spatial displacement nonlocal NLS equation by proposing a PT-symmetric constraint on the AKNS system. In this paper, we study the integrable space–time shifted nonlocal NLS equation by using the Hirota bilinear method, and obtain one-soliton and two-soliton solutions, and consider their collision behaviors with each other. By selecting different free functions, we get bright soliton, periodic soliton and the parallel double solitons, etc. These results provide powerful methods for further controlling the propagation of solitons.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the global stability of an HIV infection model that incorporates the role of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) in viral persistence by Lyapunov’s direct method. The basic reproduction number R0 serves as the critical threshold governing the dynamical behavior of the proposed model. When R0<1, the system converges to the infection-free equilibrium, which corresponds to the complete clearance of the virus. Conversely, when R0>1, the system stabilizes at the infected equilibrium, which indicates the sustained persistence of the virus within the host. Numerical simulations demonstrate that increasing the viral clearance rate and the efficacy of highly active antiretroviral therapy, while simultaneously reducing the virus unbinding rate from FDCs, can shift the system from an infected steady state toward an infection-free steady state, thereby facilitating effective control of HIV. These findings highlight the essential role of incorporating viral reservoirs, particularly FDCs, into models designed to elucidate the long-term dynamics of HIV infection.
