Design and Financial Analysis of a Health Insurance Based on an SIH-Type Epidemic Model

Abstract

We present a design and financial analysis of a health insurance based on an SIH-type epidemic model. Specifically, we first construct the model in a continuous form, study its dynamical properties, and formulate the financial quantities involved in our insurance. Subsequently, we discretise the model using the forward Euler method, study the dynamical properties of the resulting discrete model, and formulate discrete analogues of the above financial quantities. We conduct a numerical simulation using two sets of parameter values, each representing a disease-free and an endemic scenario, which reveals that in the latter scenario, the insurance's gross premium is higher, the insurer's minimum loss-preventing start-up capital is lower, and the insurer's total profit is higher, compared to the corresponding values in the former scenario. Finally, through a sensitivity analysis, we show that in both scenarios, the disease's basic reproduction number, the gross premium, the minimum start-up capital, and the total profit depend most sensitively on the population's natural death coefficient, the disease's incidence coefficient, the hospitalisation benefit, and the premium surcharge percentage allocated to profit, respectively.

Asymmetry of a class of Mellin transforms

We introduce the quantity $μ_η$, defined for every complex $s$ in the critical strip, as a transformation of the Mellin transform associated to the functions $η$. We establish a sufficient condition on $η$ under which $μ_η(s)$ and $μ_η(1-s)$ cannot both vanish outside the critical line. An application is given to the case in which $η$ is the fractional part function, and the zeros of $μ_η$ coincide with the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

Infinite Set of Resonances in the Linear Damped Oscillator Subject to Harmonic Forcing with Non-standard Frequency Modulation

It is shown that harmonic signals incorporating a type of weak non-standard frequency modulation (wNSFM) have interesting spectral properties, namely, time-dependent bandwidths that become increasingly broader with increasing time. As such, they represent a class of signals with frequency-time coupling in their spectra. Specifically, the weakly damped oscillator exhibits always two transient resonance captures involving two distinct harmonics possessing relatively high amplitudes over finite time intervals, while the overall response decays as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. Considering the undamped oscillator, it possesses two types of resonances, referred to as simple and non-simple resonances. Simple resonances correspond to finite-amplitude steady-state responses caused by two sustained resonance captures, in the form of two distinct modulated quasi-periodic responses, which, however are "activated" at different time instances. The necessary and sufficient conditions for non-simple resonances are given in the form of a theorem which predicts the existence of resonant harmonics and specifies the special phase conditions that the resonant harmonics must satisfy for constructive interference; the resulting undamped non-simple resonance grows unboundedly as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$, in contrast to the classical resonance growth of the linear resonator with unmodulated harmonic excitation whose response grows as $~t$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. These resonant responses are persistent to changes in the parameters of the wNSFM. Our results reveal interesting infinite sets of resonances in linear SDOF resonators under frequency-modulated excitations.
