Abstract

The Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) scheme is introduced in this work to obtain numerical solutions for the Bagley–Torvik type of fractional differential equation. The proposed algorithm generates solutions in the form of a rapidly converging sequence, ensuring computational efficiency and stability. To evaluate the accuracy, robustness, and convergence of the method, several illustrative examples are presented. The comparative analysis shows that the PINN-based scheme offers highly accurate approximations and demonstrates strong reliability across a wide range of nonlinear problems, making it an effective approach for solving complex fractional differential systems.
