Abstract In this study, a design of integrated computational intelligent paradigm has been presented for numerical treatment of the one-dimensional boundary value problems represented with Falkner-Skan equations (FSE) by exploitation of Gaussian wavelet neural networks (GWNNs), genetic algorithms (GAs) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP), i.e., GWNN-GA-SQP. The GWNNs is used for mathematical modeling of the problem by constructing mean squared error based objective function while optimization of the cost function is initially conducted with efficacy of GAs as a global search and while fine tuning is performed with efficiency local search with SQP. The numerical results are obtained by proposed GWNN-GA-SQP for different FSEs arising in nonlinear regimes of computation fluid mechanics studies. A comparison of the results of proposed GWNN-GA-SQP stochastic numerical solver with reference state of the art solutions of Adams method establishes the accuracy, convergence and stability, which further endorsed through statistics on multiples runs. The T-Paired test is also applied to validate the effectiveness of the proposed GWNN-GA-SQP algorithm for solving nonlinear FSEs.
