Modeling H1N1 Influenza Transmission and Control: Epidemic Theory Insights Across Mexico, Italy, and South Africa

Abstract

This study incorporates mathematical analysis, focusing on developing theories and conducting numerical simulations of Influenza virus transmission using real-world data. The terms in the equations introduce parameters which are determined by fitting the model for matching clinical data sets using non-linear least-square method. The purpose is to determine the wave trend, critical illness factors and forecast for Influenza in national levels of Mexico, Italy, and South Africa and to investigate the effectiveness of control policy and making some suggestions of alternative control policies. Data were extracted from the following sources: published literature, surveillance, unpublished reports, and websites of Centres For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) \cite{CDC}, Natality report of U.S. clinics and World Health Organization (WHO) Influenza Disease Dashboard \cite{WHO}. We included total 120 weeks data (which are calculated as per thousand) from October 01, 2020 to March 31, 2023 \cite{CDC}, throughout this study. Numerical and sensitivity analysis are carried out to determine some prevent strategies. The objectives of local and global sensitivity analysis is to determine the dominating parameters and effective correlation with $\mathcal{R}_0$. We presented data fitting, Latin hypercube sampling, sensitivity indices, Partial Rank Correlation Coefficient, p-value, estimation of the nature of $\mathcal{R}_0$ from available data to show validation of the model with these counties. The aim is to determine optimal control strategies with drug administration schemes, treatments which represent the efficacy of drug inhabiting viral production and preventing new infections, minimizes the systematic cost based on the percentage effect of the drug. Finally, we present series of numerical examples and the effect of different parameters on the compartments to verify theoretical results.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. Liu proposed the conjecture \[ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \ge 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,\qquad k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $k<1$. We prove this conjecture by reducing it to an algebraic inequality for three positive variables with prescribed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.

A quadratic critical-value conjecture for the fifth Bessel moment

We conjecture an explicit evaluation of the pure fifth Bessel moment $\int_0^\infty K_0(t)^5\,dt$ as a quadratic expression in the critical value $L(f,2)$ of the weight-three, level-60 newform $f$ (LMFDB orbit 60.3.b.a) identified in the twisted fifth-moment modularity theorem of Lim, Tu and Yu, with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and the square taken before the real and imaginary parts. Directed interval computations, using no stored Bessel or $L$-values, bound the absolute discrepancy by $10^{-358}$. We prove three exact modular identities for $f$: the Petersson-norm formula $\langle f,f\rangle_{60} = \frac{3(5-\sqrt{5})}{2π^4}|L(f,2)|^2$, the coefficient-conjugation relation $L(f^σ,2) = κL(f,2)$ with explicit $κ\in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5},i)$, and the twisted symmetric-square evaluation $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2) = \sqrt{15}\,π^2 \langle f,f\rangle_{60}$, together with $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,3) = π^4\langle f,f\rangle_{60}/8$, in the full Euler-factor normalization of Lim, Tu and Yu. The last identity shows that the companion norm conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = \frac{3\sqrt{15}(5-\sqrt{5})}{2}|L(f,2)|^2$ is equivalent to the symmetric-square conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = π^2 L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2)$ of Lim, Tu and Yu, while the exact relation $D_{5,\mathrm{even}} = π^2 D_{5,\mathrm{odd}}/(2\sqrt{15})$ follows from Chuang's period formulas. Every Bessel-to-modular equality, including the individual-period formula, remains conjectural. Complete proofs, exact rational certificates and verification programs are included as ancillary files.
