Periodic solutions for small and large delays in a tumor-immune system model.
Existence and stability of periodic solutions are studied for a system of delay differential equations with two delays, with periodic coefficients. It models the evolution of hematopoietic stem cells and mature neutrophil cells in chronic myelogenous leukemia under a periodic treatment that acts only on mature cells. Existence of a guiding function leads to the proof of the existence of a strictly positive periodic solution by a theorem of Krasnoselskii....
