Hybrid-Optimized Gudermannian Neural Network for Oscillatory Dynamics

Publication Name: IEEE Access

Publication Date: 2026-01-01

Volume: 14

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 20873-20889

Description:

Differential equations govern the dynamics of many physical systems, including mass–spring and mass–spring–damper systems. We propose a fully connected Gudermannian-activated neural network (FCGNN) trained with a hybrid global–local optimizer: a genetic algorithm for a global search, followed by an active-set method for rapid local refinement. The Gudermannian activation smoothly links trigonometric and hyperbolic behaviors, enabling a single network to capture both oscillatory (underdamped/forced) and exponential (overdamped) responses with improved expressivity over standard activation functions. We also studied the effect of L1 and L2 regularization on generalization. Using canonical vibration benchmarks, Monte Carlo trials quantify the robustness of the initialization and noise. The FCGNN’s predictions closely match the analytical solution and outperform physics-informed neural networks, achieving higher accuracy with compact architectures and reduced training effort. The novelty of the model is in the integration of the gudernmannian activation function with a hybrid GA–ASM optimization and independent regularization analyses, along with the Monte Carlo simulations, which yield an accurate solver for oscillatory systems.

Constrained optimization in physics-informed neural networks for singular three-point boundary value problems

Publication Name: Ain Shams Engineering Journal

Publication Date: 2026-04-01

Volume: 17

Issue: 4

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

Physics-informed neural networks represent a category of deep learning models that directly incorporate physical laws into the training process to solve differential equations, thereby diminishing the dependence on extensively labeled datasets. This study investigates a constrained optimization framework within PINNs to address singular three-point boundary value problems, which present significant challenges owing to singularities and internal boundary conditions that result in non-standard solution behavior. To address these complexities, we developed a customized Physics-informed neural network architecture that integrates constraint-driven regularization terms into the loss function to enhance the generalization and numerical stability. The proposed approach was evaluated across multiple benchmark problems, with performance assessed using statistical metrics and the mean squared error. The optimization and training PINN regular framework will stabilize the training and convergence in the presence of singularities to yield dependable TPS-BVP solutions. The predicted solutions were rigorously compared with exact analytical solutions. The results demonstrate that the constrained optimization-based Physics-informed neural networks framework provides highly accurate and stable approximations, validating its effectiveness in handling complex singular boundary value problems.

Magneto-bioconvective stagnation point flow of a three-dimensional Casson nanofluid over a rotating Riga surface with exponential heat source: Homotopy analysis method

Publication Name: Results in Surfaces and Interfaces

Publication Date: 2026-08-01

Volume: 24

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The analytical results presented here not only deepen the understanding of coupled magneto-bioconvective transport phenomena but also highlight the possibility of various applications including microelectronic cooling, renewable energy systems, electromagnetic flow control, biomedical transport, microbial fuel cells, and advanced nanofluid-based thermal technologies. The present study investigates a three-dimensional Casson nanofluid flow over a Riga surface at stagnation point under the influence of an applied magnetic field, an exponential heat source, and a rotating frame. This study explores how these combined physical mechanisms influence velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, and microorganism distributions. Also, it assesses whether the Homotopy analysis method (HAM) is capable of yielding precise analytical solutions for such a highly nonlinear transport model. The original nonlinear partial differential equations representing magneto-bioconvective Casson nanofluid flow are first converted to a dimensionless system of ordinary differential equations by using appropriate similarity transformations. The coupled system thus obtained is then solved analytically by the HAM. The solutions achieved through this method are checked against results from the literature to ensure their validity. The finding shows that enhancement in the Casson fluid parameter, magnetic parameter, and mass Grashof number leads to a notable decrease in velocity field as a result of increased flow resistance. In contrast, the higher Hartmann numbers produced by the Riga surface aid fluid motion via electromagnetic forcing. A stronger heat source and larger Biot number cause temperature distribution to rise, whereas thermophoresis lowers nanoparticle concentration. Also, higher activation energy affects concentration transport, but an increase in Peclet number boosts microorganism distribution and bioconvection strength.

Thermo-entropy behavior of magneto-bioconvective Casson nanofluid over a rotating Riga surface under Joule heating and radiation effects

Publication Name: Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry

Publication Date: 2026-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The current research explores the thermal transport and entropy generation phenomena in a three-dimensional magneto-bioconvective Casson nanofluid stagnation-point flow over a rotating Riga plate in the presence of thermal radiation, Joule heating, and an exponential heat source. The flow is considered within a rotating frame of reference, while gyrotactic microorganisms are incorporated to analyze bioconvection phenomena in the Casson nanofluid. The improved Buongiorno nanofluid model is employed to account for Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion effects. Convective boundary conditions are imposed to accurately describe the thermal transport mechanism at the surface. Suitable similarity transformations are utilized to convert the governing nonlinear partial differential equations into a system of dimensionless ODEs (ordinary differential equations). The consequential mathematical model is resolved analytically using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The impacts of various physical parameters on velocity, temperature, nanoparticle concentration, microorganism density, and entropy generation are examined through graphical illustrations. The obtained results reveal that the velocity profiles decrease with increasing values of the magnetic parameter, Casson parameter, and mass Grashof number, whereas the Hartmann numbers in both axial directions enhance the fluid velocity. The temperature distribution significantly increases due to stronger thermal radiation, Joule heating, exponential heat generation, and larger Biot number values. Furthermore, the nanoparticle concentration profile intensifies with increasing thermophoresis parameter and activation energy, while Brownian motion enhances nanoparticle dispersion within the fluid. The density of motile microorganisms is found to increase with higher Peclet number values. Entropy generation is amplified by thermal radiation, magnetic effects, and Joule dissipation, indicating greater irreversibility within the system. The present investigation provides useful insights for advanced thermal engineering systems, bioconvective transport mechanisms, and industrial applications involving electromagnetic heating and nanofluid technologies.
