In this article, the investigation into the Lie symmetry algebra of the geodesic equations of the canonical connection on a Lie group was continued. The key ideas of Lie group, Lie algebra, linear connection, and symmetry were quickly reviewed. The focus was on those Lie groups whose Lie algebra was six-dimensional solvable and indecomposable and for which the nilradical was abelian and had a one-dimensional center. Based on the list of Lie algebras compiled by Turkowski, there were eight algebras to consider that were denoted by A6,20-A6,27. For each Lie algebra, a comprehensive symmetry analysis of the system of geodesic equations was carried out. For each symmetry Lie algebra, the nilradical and a complement to the nilradical inside the radical, as well as a semi-simple factor, were identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID-19 outbreak of 2020 has required many governments to develop and adopt mathematical-statistical models of the pandemic for policy and planning purposes. To this end, this work provides a tutorial on building a compartmental model using Susceptible, Exposed, Infected, Recovered, Deaths and Vaccinated (SEIRDV) status through time. The proposed model uses interventions to quantify the impact of various government attempts made to slow the spread of the virus. Furthermore, a vaccination parameter is also incorporated in the model, which is inactive until the time the vaccine is deployed. A Bayesian framework is utilized to perform both parameter estimation and prediction. Predictions are made to determine when the peak Active Infections occur. We provide inferential frameworks for assessing the effects of government interventions on the dynamic progression of the pandemic, including the impact of vaccination. The proposed model also allows for quantification of number of excess deaths averted over the study period due to vaccination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider the symmetry algebra of the geodesic equations of the canonical connection on a Lie group. We mainly consider the solvable indecomposable six-dimensional Lie algebras with co-dimension two abelian nilradical that have an abelian complement. In dimension six, there are nineteen such algebras, namely, A6,1-A6,19 in Turkowski's list. For each algebra, we give the geodesic equations, a basis for the symmetry Lie algebra in terms of vector fields, and finally we identify the symmetry Lie algebra from standard lists.
