| Neural network (NN)-assisted analytical method [10] | Uses a neural network to assist in the analysis or approximation of nonlinear systems. | Analytical information is combined with neural network computation. | Not specifically reported | Analytical or approximate | It does not systematically embed complete Riccati solution families as first-hidden-layer activation functions. |
| Conventional physics-informed neural network (PINN) [9] | Approximates the PDE solution by minimizing data, boundary condition, and physics-residual losses. | The governing PDE is incorporated into the loss function. | No | Generally numerical or approximate | It requires iterative residual-based optimization and generally does not provide explicit closed-form soliton solutions. |
| Hybrid analytical-PINN method [11] | Uses analytical solutions for simulation and a PINN for prediction and parameter identification. | Analytical soliton solutions are combined with physics-informed learning. | No | Analytical reference solutions with numerical predictions | It uses a conventional PINN loss-based framework rather than Riccati-based trial functions and algebraic coefficient matching. |
| Proposed Riccati sub-equation neural networks (RSENNs) | Construct structured trial functions and validate their predictive performance through the LM-ANN algorithm. | Riccati sub-equation solutions are embedded as activation functions, and the resulting trial function is substituted directly into the PDE. | Yes | Explicit exact soliton families with numerical validation | They combine Riccati-derived activation functions, direct algebraic coefficient matching, explicit soliton construction, LM-ANN, validation, and parameter estimation under different noise levels within one unified framework. |
