During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) established a comprehensive database detailing daily mortality rates across countries. This dataset revealed fluctuating global mortality trends attributable to COVID-19; however, the specific differences and similarities in mortality patterns between countries remain insufficiently explored. Consequently, this study employs Fourier and similarity analyses to examine these patterns within the frequency domain, thereby offering novel insights into the dynamics of COVID-19 mortality waves across different nations.
