A stochastic SECIHRV dynamical system and 3D sensitivity analysis of influenza transmission under environmental uncertainty

Influenza remains a major global health threat, requiring models that capture both deterministic transmission and stochastic environmental effects. This study develops a seven-compartment stochastic SECIHRV dynamical system incorporating susceptible, exposed, chronic, infectious, hospitalized, recovered, and vaccinated populations. The deterministic framework defines the basic reproduction number R₀ , while the stochastic extension introduces multiplicative perturbations through independent Wiener processes B₁(t) , B₂(t) , and B₃(t) , representing random fluctuations in transmission, vaccination, and progression rates with intensities (ξ ₁,ξ ₂,ξ ₃) . Analytical results show that if Rₛ<1 , infection dies out almost surely, whereas Rₛ>1 yields a unique stationary distribution with ergodic behavior. Numerical simulations based on a modified Euler Maruyama scheme confirm these findings and reveal the transition from deterministic predictability to stochastic variability. A three-dimensional sensitivity analysis of Rₛ further demonstrates that higher stochastic intensities flatten and suppress the reproduction surface, highlighting the stabilizing influence of environmental noise on epidemic persistence and control. The primary contribution of this work is the formulation and comprehensive analysis of a high-dimensional stochastic epidemic model with simultaneous noise in multiple epidemiological parameters, a detailed 3D sensitivity analysis of the stochastic reproduction number, and the demonstration of how environmental variability can suppress or sustain infection under different noise regimes.
