Katugampola generalized conformal derivative approach to Inada conditions and Solow-Swan economic growth model

Abstract

This article shows a new focus of mathematic analysis for the Solow-Swan economic growth model, using the generalized conformal derivative Katugampola (KGCD). For this, under the same Solow-Swan model assumptions, the Inada conditions are extended, which, for the new model shown here, depend on the order of the KGCD. This order plays an important role in the speed of convergence of the closed solutions obtained with this derivative for capital (k) and for per-capita production (y) in the cases without migration and with negative migration. Our approach to the model with the KGCD adds a new parameter to the Solow-Swan model, the order of the KGCD and not a new state variable. In addition, we propose several possible economic interpretations for that parameter.
