Abstract

This research introduces a novel approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs) to tackle ordinary differential equations (ODEs) through an innovative technique called enhanced back-propagation (EBP)‎. ‎The ANNs adopted in this study‎, ‎particularly multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLPNNs)‎, ‎are equipped with tunable parameters such as weights and biases‎. ‎The utilization of MLPNNs with universal approximation capabilities proves to be advantageous for ODE problem-solving‎. ‎By leveraging the enhanced back-propagation algorithm‎, ‎the network is fine-tuned to minimize errors during unsupervised learning sessions‎. ‎To showcase the effectiveness of this method‎, ‎a diverse set of initial value problems for ODEs are solved and the results are compared against analytical solutions and conventional techniques‎, ‎demonstrating the superior performance of the proposed approach‎
