Herd immunity for Covid-19 in homogeneous populations

In this note we estimate herd immunity levels for the Covid-19 epidemic using a standard SEIR system that models the disease dynamics in homogeneous populations. The results obtained are indicative of values between 80% and 90% for unprotected, fully susceptible populations. Basic protective measures such as hand hygiene and mask wearing may be effective to lower herd immunity levels down to values between 50% and 60% of the total population.

A matlab code to compute reproduction numbers with applications to the Covid-19 outbreak

We discuss the generation of various reproduction ratios or numbers that are very useful to monitor an ongoing epidemic like Covid-19 and examine the effects of intervention measures. A detailed SEIR algorithm is described for their computation, with applications given to the current Covid-19 outbreaks in a number of countries (Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, UK and USA). The corresponding matlab script, complete and ready to use, is provided for free downloading.

Sharp pointwise estimates for functions in the Sobolev spaces Hs(Rn)

We obtain the optimal value of the constant K(n,s) in the Sobolev-Nirenberg-Gagliardo inequality $ \|\,u\,\|_{L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{n})} \leq K(n,s) \,\|\, u \,\|_{L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}^{1 - n/(2s)} \|\, u \,\|_{\dot{H}^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{n})}^{n/(2s)} $ where $ s > n/2 $.
