PurposeFractional calculus provides powerful tool to build more realistic and accurate mathematical models in economic field. This paper aims to explore a proposed fractional-order differentiated Cournot duopoly game and its discretized game.Design/methodology/approachConditions for existence and uniqueness of the proposed game’s solution are derived. The existence of Nash equilibrium point and its local and global stability are obtained. Furthermore, local stability analysis of the discretized game is investigated. The effects of fractional-order on game’s dynamics are examined, along with other parameters of the game, via the 2D bifurcation diagrams in planes of system’s parameters are acquired.FindingsTheoretical and numerical simulation results demonstrate rich variety of interesting dynamical behaviors such as period-doubling and Neimark–Sacker bifurcations, attractors’ crises in addition to chaotic attractors. The results demonstrated that the stability Nash equilibrium point of the game can be lost by period doubling or Neimark–Sacker bifurcations.Practical implicationsOligopoly games are pivotal in the mathematical modeling of some substantial economic areas such as industrial organization, airline, banking, telecommunication companies, international trade and also macroeconomic analysis of business cycles, innovation and growth.Originality/valueAlthough the Cournot game and its variants have attracted great interest among mathematicians and economists since the time of its proposition till present, memory effects in continuous-time and discrete-time Cournot duopoly game have not been addressed yet. To the best of author’s knowledge, this can be considered as the first attempt to investigate this problem of fractional-order differentiated Cournot duopoly game. In addition, studying more realistic models of Cournot oligopoly games plays a pivotal role in the mathematical investigation and better understanding of some substantial economic areas such as industrial organization, airline, banking, telecommunication companies, international trade and also in macroeconomic analysis of business cycles, innovation and growth.

AbstractCournot’s game is one of the most distinguished and influential economic models. However, the classical integer order derivatives utilized in Cournot’s game lack the efficiency to simulate the significant memory characteristics observed in many economic systems. This work aims at introducing a dynamical study of a more realistic proposed competition Cournot-like duopoly game having fractional order derivatives. Sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of the new model’s solution are obtained. The existence and local stability analysis of Nash equilibrium points along with other equilibrium points are examined. Some aspects of global stability analysis are treated. More significantly, the effects of seasonal periodic perturbations of parameters values are also explored. The multiscale fuzzy entropy measurements for complexity are employed for this case. Numerical simulations are presented in order to verify the analytical results. It is observed that the time-varying parameters induce very complicated dynamics in perturbed Cournot duopoly game compared with the unperturbed game.

The fractional integrals of Bessel-type Fractional Integrals from left-sided and right-sided integrals of fractional order is established on finite and infinite interval of the real-line, half axis and real axis. The Bessel-type fractional derivatives are also established. The properties of Fractional derivatives and integrals are studied. The fractional derivatives of Bessel-type of fractional order on finite of the real-line are studied by graphical representation. Results are direct output of the computer algebra system coded from MATLAB R2011b.
