In this article, a modified computational approach based on Newton-Cotes methods and an artificial neural network with positive coefficients is reformulated, presented, and implemented for the first time in the literature to solve the neutrosophic fuzzy integro-differential equations (NFFIDEs), where the variables and parameters are considered as fuzzy neutrosophic numbers. The neutrosophic triangular number (TNFN) is used for expressing neutrosophic fuzzy aspects. Applying fuzzification to the deterministic α-cut, β-cut, and γ-cut solutions results in a neutrosophic numerical solution based on artificial neural networks. The main aim of using neural networks was to address the neutrosophic-fuzzy aspects of NFFIDEs. A numerical experiment is provided to demonstrate the developed approach. The findings are consistent with theoretical predictions and highlight the improved accuracy and efficiency achieved by combining artificial neural networks with the Newton–Cotes method for solving NFFIDEs, supporting its applicability in medicine, engineering, and physics.
