Travelling Wave Solution of the Fisher-Kolmogorov Equation with Non-Linear Diffusion

Abstract: In this paper we study one-dimensional Fisher-Kolmogorov equation with density dependent non-linear diffusion. We choose the diffusion as a function of cell density such that it is high in highly cell populated areas and it is small in the regions of fewer cells. The Fisher equation with non-linear diffusion is known as modified Fisher equation. We study the travelling wave solution of modified Fisher equation and find the approximation of minimum wave speed analytically, by using the eigenvalues of the statio… Show more

“…Figures 1-4 show some novel analytical wave solutions with different values to the above-mentioned parameters. Comparing our solutions with those that have been obtained in a previously published paper [17,41] shows our solutions are completely different from those that have been evaluated in [41]. Still, some of our solutions match the obtained solutions in [17] when α = 1, where in that paper, the authors in that paper studied the fractional form of the considered model.…”

“…The method is simple and convenient to use, but, unfortunately, the accuracy of the relevant approximate solutions has never been evaluated or discussed. To solve the Fisher-KPP equation in a traveling wave study, homotopy analysis was used (for more details, see, e.g., [22,23]).…”

“…By using infinitesimal methods, for this equation, we have obtained the group of equivalence transformations and the Lie group classification. The exponential form of diffusion used in this model produces the similar behavior as cell proliferation, and there is a great interest for the exponential form of diffusion in modeling the cell growth in vitro tissue engineering. Due to this fact, after having computed the one‐dimensional optimal systems of subalgebras, we have performed the corresponding similarity transformations for Equation .…”

“…Shakeel modeled cell growth in a bioreactor subject to uniform nutrient concentration; the diffusion is a function of cell density such that it is high in highly cell populated areas, and it is small in the regions of fewer cells. This exponential form of nonlinear diffusion is such that it produces similar behavior to cell proliferation.…”
