Application of Generalized Logistic Function to Travelling Wave Solutions for a Class of Nonlinear Evolution Equations

Abstract

The generalized Logistic function that solves a first-order nonlinear ODE with an arbitrary positive power term of the dependent variable is introduced in this paper, by means of which the traveling wave solutions of a class of nonlinear evolution equations, including the generalized Fisher equation, the generalized Nagumo equation, the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation, the generalized Gardner equation, the generalized KdV-Burgers equation, and the generalized Benney equation, are obtained successfully. In these particular cases, traveling wave solutions of several important model PDEs in mathematical physics are also discovered.
