Abstract

‎A mathematical model of lung cancer is used to analyze the dynamics of tumor growth and the interactions between cancer cells and immune cells‎. ‎To obtain approximate solutions and improve understanding of the behavior of the state functions‎, ‎a fractional Narayana polynomials neural network (FNPNN) with higher accuracy and better efficiency is proposed‎. ‎For this purpose‎, ‎we develop a method using a three-layer artificial neural network‎, ‎which includes an input layer‎, ‎a hidden layer‎, ‎and an output layer‎. ‎The fractional Narayana polynomials and $arcsinh(t)$ function are utilized as activation functions for the hidden and output layers of the network‎, ‎respectively‎. ‎The lung cancer model is reduced to the problem of solving a system of algebraic equations through the use of FNPNN and the Lagrange multipliers method‎. ‎All computations are performed using Maple and MATLAB software‎. ‎The convergence analysis is discussed‎. ‎The efficiency and versatility of our suggested approach are confirmed by numerical modeling examples‎. ‎The technique proposed in this work can be effortlessly applied to other scientific or engineering problems‎, ‎providing the potential for substantial efficiency gains while keeping accuracy at an acceptable level‎.
