A methodology that can generate the optimal coefficients of a numerical method with the use of an artificial neural network is presented in this work. The network can be designed to produce a finite difference algorithm that solves a specific system of ordinary differential equations numerically. The case we are examining here concerns an explicit two-stage Runge-Kutta method for the numerical solution of the two-body problem. Following the implementation of the network, the latter is trained to obtain the optimal values for the coefficients of the Runge-Kutta method. The comparison of the new method to others that are well known in the literature proves its efficiency and demonstrates the capability of the network to provide efficient algorithms for specific problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
