The combination of the Genetic algorithm (GA) and active-set approach (ASA), i.e., GA-ASA, works as a global-local search scheme to solve the SEIR-NDC model. An error-based fitness function is optimized through the hybrid combination of the GA-ASA by using the differential SEIR-NDC model and its initial conditions. The numerical performances of the SEIR-NDC nonlinear model are presented through the procedures of ANNs along with GA-ASA by taking ten neurons. The orrectness of the designed scheme is observed by comparing the obtained results based on the SEIR-NDC model and the reference Adams method. The absolute error performances are performed in suitable ranges for each dynamic of the SEIR-NDC model. The statistical analysis is provided to authenticate the reliability of the proposed scheme. Moreover, performance indices graphs and convergence measures are provided to authenticate the exactness and constancy of the proposed stochastic scheme.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Spread of COVID-19Nonlinear SEIR-NDC modelArtificial neural networksinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.imu.2022.101028http://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#3.03.03
