This study introduces a novel artificial neural network (ANN), genetic algorithm (GA), and sequential quadratic programming method (SQPM) framework (ANN-GA-SQPM) to solve singular models with complex boundary conditions. The ANN-GA-SQPM framework demonstrates robust and efficient performance in solving these challenging mathematical problems.
Area of Science:
- Numerical Analysis

Main Methods:
- A hybrid computational framework combining artificial neural networks (ANNs), a global search genetic algorithm (GA), and a local search sequential quadratic programming method (SQPM) was developed.
- The ANN-GA-SQPM framework was applied to four distinct singular problems featuring Neumann-Robin, Dirichlet, and Neumann boundary conditions.
- Statistical performance analysis and neuron count variations (3 vs. 15 neurons) were employed to validate the method's authenticity.
Main Results:
- The ANN-GA-SQPM framework successfully solved the singular models across all tested boundary conditions.
- Comparative analysis with exact solutions confirmed the high accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
