Analytical and numerical solutions of mathematical biology models: The Newell‐Whitehead‐Segel and Allen‐Cahn equations

Abstract

In this paper, we combine the unified and the explicit exponential finite difference methods to obtain both analytical and numerical solutions for the Newell‐Whitehead‐Segel–type equations which are very important in mathematical biology. The unified method is utilized to obtain various solitary wave solutions for these equations. Numerical solutions of the specific case studies are investigated by using the explicit exponential finite difference method ensures the accuracy and reliability of the proposed scheme. After obtaining the approximate solutions, convergence analysis and error estimation (the error norms and absolute errors) are presented by comparing these results with the analytical obtained solutions and other methods in the literature through tables and graphs. The obtained analytical and numerical results are in good agreement.

A quantitative framework for exploring exit strategies from the COVID-19 lockdown

“…We note in passing that the use of mathematical methods in a plethora of biological problems at the level of (both discrete and continuum) model analysis and at that of finding a wide variety of special solutions is a theme of intense interest in recent years. As some relevant examples, we mention the works of [17] , [18] (while similar methods have been used in nonlinear engineering and mathematical physics problems [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ). In the recently very highly active front of COVID-19 modeling, some of the efforts have been directed at modeling the early stages of the pandemic [23] ; others have focused on designing a pandemic response index (to quantify/rank the response of different countries) [24] or towards quantifying the response of different regions within a country, e.g., the states within the USA [25] .…”

A study on fractional host–parasitoid population dynamical model to describe insect species

“…In the past many years, many scientists have devoted their considerable endeavor to find vigorous and stable numerical as well as analytical techniques for solving fractional differential equations arising in science and engineering [4,9]. Few numerical and analytical methods have included as Exponential finite difference method [27], Reproducing kernel algorithm [39], Legendre spectral method [51], Optimized decomposition method [40], Spectral collocation method [29] and Collocation method [11].…”
