Modeling and analysis of demand-supply dynamics with a collectability factor using delay differential equations in economic growth via the Caputo operator

In this paper, to investigate the dynamic interplay between supply and demand, with a focus on collectability, a novel mathematical model was introduced via conformable operator.This model considers the possibility that operating expenses or a lack of raw materials causes a manufacturing delay than the supply of goods instantly matching demand.This
