Abstract

The paper presents a simple solution of travelling-wave type (corresponding to the minimum speed c=2) of Fisher's equation. which can be readily adapted for modelling neutron density in nuclear reactors, reaction-diffusion processes'in propulsion systems and growth of new advantageous gene in one-dimensional habitat
