Neural Networks-Based Analytical Solver for Exact Solutions of Fractional Partial Differential Equations
This paper introduces an innovative artificial neural networks-based analytical solver for fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs), combining neural networks (NNs) with symbolic computation. Leveraging the powerful function approximation ability of NNs and the exactness of symbolic methods, our approach achieves notable improvements in both computational speed and solution precision. The efficacy of the proposed method is validated through four numerical examples, with results visualized using three-dimensional surface plots, contour mappings, and density distributions. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework successfully derives exact solutions for fPDEs without relying on data samples. This research provides a novel methodological framework for solving fPDEs, with broad applicability across scientific and engineering fields.
