Abstract

A generalization of the time-delayed Burgers–Fisher equation is studied. This partial differential equation appears in many physical and biological problems describing the interaction between reaction, diffusion, and convection. New travelling wave solutions are obtained. The solutions are derived in a systematic way by applying the multi-reduction method to the symmetry-invariant conservation laws. The translation-invariant conservation law yields a first integral, which is a first-order Chini equation. Under certain conditions on the coefficients of the equation, the Chini type equation obtained can be solved, yielding travelling wave solutions expressed in terms of the Lerch transcendent function. For a special case, the first integral becomes a Riccati equation, whose solutions are given in terms of Bessel functions, and for a special case of the parameters, the solutions are given in terms of exponential, trigonometric, and hyperbolic functions. Furthermore, a complete classification of the zeroth-order local conservation laws is obtained. To the best of our knowledge, our results include new solutions that have not been previously reported in the literature.
