In this study, we solve nonlinear initial value problems arising in circuit analysis by applying bio-inspired computational intelligence technique using feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs) optimized with genetic algorithms (GAs), sequential quadratic programming (SQP), and their combined scheme. The system of resister-capacitor (RC) circuit having nonlinear capacitance is mathematically modelled with unsupervised ANNs by defining an energy function in mean-square error (MSE) sense. The objectives are to minimize the MSE for which the parameters of the networks are estimated initially with GA-based global search and in steady state with SQP algorithm for efficient local search. We consider a set of scenarios to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme for different resistance and capacitance values along with current variations in the nonlinear RC circuit system. The results are compared with well-established fully explicit Runge-Kutta numerical solver in order to verify the accuracy of the applied bio-inspired heuristics. To prove the worth of the scheme, a comprehensive statistical analysis is provided for the performance metrics based on root MSE, mean absolute error, Theil's inequality coefficient, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency, variance account for, and the coefficient of determination (R-2).
