We propose a method for disclosing properties of the Hofstadter butterfly by exploiting the analogy of Bloch electrons in a superconducting thin film with periodic hole arrays and an applied magnetic field. We show that various properties, including the magneto-resistance effect of the Hofstadter butterfly, may be observed in carefully selected conditions, such as diameter and distance between two holes. Additionally, we advise employing approximation methods to infer the magneto-resistance properties rather than persistently measuring them, and we present an entire framework for this purpose. The latter solves difficult and nonlinear issues using a machine learning method known as the group method of data handling-type neural networks. The simulation results of our model show excellent approximations for the mean-squared error values.
