Neuro-swarm computational heuristic for solving a nonlinear second-order coupled Emden–Fowler model

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to present the numerical solutions of a nonlinear second-order coupled Emden–Fowler equation by developing a neuro-swarming-based computing intelligent solver. The feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used for modelling, and optimization is carried out by the local/global search competences of particle swarm optimization (PSO) aided with capability of interior-point method (IPM), i.e., ANNs-PSO-IPM. In ANNs-PSO-IPM, a mean square error-based objective function is designed for nonlinear second-order coupled Emden–Fowler (EF) equations and then optimized using the combination of PSO-IPM. The inspiration to present the ANNs-PSO-IPM comes with a motive to depict a viable, detailed and consistent framework to tackle with such stiff/nonlinear second-order coupled EF system. The ANNs-PSO-IP scheme is verified for different examples of the second-order nonlinear-coupled EF equations. The achieved numerical outcomes for single as well as multiple trials of ANNs-PSO-IPM are incorporated to validate the reliability, viability and accuracy.
