Existence and -Approximate solution of implicit fractional pantograph equations in the frame of Hilfer-Katugampola operator
Get PDFThe major goal of this research paper is to investigate the existence and uniqueness of an implicit fractional pantograph equation in the frame of the Hilfer-Katugampola operator on the finite interval with mixed nonlocal conditions. Our analysis of the existence and uniqueness of solutions depends on some fixed point theorems such as Banach and Krasnoselskii. Moreover, we discuss the dependence of solutions on mixed nonlocal conditions by means of -approximated solution. As an application, we provide an example to illustrate the validity of our results
Fractional diffusion equation described by the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative and its approximate solution
Get PDFIn this paper, we propose the approximate solution of the fractional diffusion equation described by a non-singular fractional derivative. We use the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo fractional derivative in our studies. The integral balance methods as the heat balance integral method introduced by Goodman and the double integral method developed by Hristov have been used for getting the approximate solution. In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the fractional diffusion equation have been provided. We analyze the impact of the fractional operator in the diffusion process. We represent graphically the approximate solution of the fractional diffusion equation

The Effect of Freight Transport Service Performance on Global Market Competitiveness
Get PDFThe producers, intermediaries, shippers, and consignees, located often thousands of miles distant from each other, require efficient transport and logistics services to get the right product with the right quality and quantity to the right place within the right time and above all at a right price. The main objective of this study was to assess the effect of freight transport service performance on international trade competitiveness. A descriptive research design was used. Secondary data were collected from international organizations' policy, standards documents, and annual report of the year 2018 by using the Logistic Performance Index rank. Moreover, a quantitative research approach was applied. The data were entered, manipulated, organized, and analyzed using Excel and Statistical Package for Social Science. Both descriptive and inferential analyses were used to identify and examine the extent of international trade competitiveness and its implication in the global market. As the result reviled the entire logistic performance factors such as Growth Domestic Product, Distance, Infrastructure, Landlocked, and Timelines were found to be significantly important to determine the global market competitiveness. But, the geographical distance between bilateral countries affected a country’s trade negatively. The top 10 higher Logistic Performance Index scores more competitive and better implementer of the effects of freight transport factors; whereas, the bottom scorers had an ineffective market link with their partners
THE tradeoff between liquidity and profitability: evidence from Indian manufacturing firms
Get PDFThe main aim of this research paper is to examine the trade-off between liquidity and profitability of Indian firms. The target population of the study is manufacturing firms. The study used convenience sampling for collecting the data. The study is based on secondary data for the period from 2008 to 2017 and 20 Indian manufacturing firms are selected for this purpose. Analysis of the data has been undertaken using SPSS software. Findings revealed that current liabilities ratio have a positive and significant impact on earnings per share and profit after tax. On the contrary, the current ratio and quick ratio have an insignificant impact on earnings per share, return on capital employed, return on assets and profit after tax. This study suggests that managers should incorporate liquidity into their evaluation decisions in order to boost the financial return of their businesses. The current study offers valuable insights into the success of Indian listed companies for administrators, analysts, regulators, investors, and other interested parties. There is insufficient research that has been conducted to examine the trade-off between liquidity and profitability. Furthermore, findings from this literature cannot be relied upon as they are outdated. Therefore, this study is going to provide updated evidence on the trade-off between liquidity and profitability of Indian manufacturing firms, an area that has largely remained unexplored
The Impact of Demonetization Process on the Performance of Nifty
Get PDFThis paper investigates the impact of demonetization process on the performance of Nifty 50 and its Sectorial Indices. The study uses data of closing prices from 28 June 2016 up to 20 March 2017. The study employs descriptive statistics, paired sample T test and ANOVA to evaluate the impact of demonetization process on the performance of Nifty 50 and its Sectorial Indices. It has found that there is statistical significance at the level of 5% that Nifty 50 dropped after the demonetization event as compared to the pre demonetization event. Further, the results reveal that most of Sectorial Indices of Nifty 50 sloped downward post demonetization event and the significance of the statistical results are varied from one sector to another. It is recommended that periodic review of the policy should be made to iron out the negative impacts of demonetization. Also, it is imperative to evaluate the impact of demonetization on the short, medium, and long run to avoid any grey areas for any future policy regarding cashless economy or demonetization
