Abstract

This paper introduces a Tau-based numerical approach utilizing Bell polynomials to solve a fractional HIV model involving $CD4^+ T$ cells. The model comprises a system of three fractional nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The method begins with deriving the operational matrix for the fractional derivative of Bell polynomials. Next, any function within the space \(L^2[0,1]\) is approximated using Bell polynomials, and these approximations are substituted into the model equations. The resulting expressions are used to compute Chebyshev collocation points within the interval \([0,1]\). By applying the Tau method along with the boundary conditions, the problem is converted into a system of algebraic equations that can be solved using standard numerical techniques such as Newton's method. An example is provided to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.
