Abstract

In this paper, we consider a generalized Fisher equation with exponential diffusion from the point of view of the theory of symmetry reductions in partial differential equations. The generalized Fisher-type equation arises in the theory of population dynamics. These types of equations have appeared in many fields of study such as in the reaction-diffusion equations, in heat transfer problems, in biology, and in chemical kinetics. By using the symmetry classification, simplified by equivalence transformations, for a special family of Fisher equations, all the reductions are derived from the optimal system of subalgebras and symmetry reductions are used to obtain exact solutions.
