The behaviour of many systems in chemistry, combustion and biology can be described using nonlinear reaction diffusion equations. Here, we use nonclassical symmetry techniques to analyse a class of nonlinear reaction diffusion equations, where both the diffusion coefficient and the coefficient of the reaction term are spatially dependent. We construct new exact group invariant solutions for several forms of the spatial dependence, and the relevance of some of the solutions to population dynamics modelling is discussed.

Abstract In this paper, the blow-up analyses in nonlocal reaction diffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients are investigated under Neumann boundary conditions. By constructing some suitable auxiliary functions and using differential inequality techniques, we show some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solution u ( x , t ) u(x,t) blows up at a finite time under appropriate measure sense. Furthermore, an upper and a lower bound on blow-up time are derived under some appropriate assumptions. At last, two examples are presented to illustrate the application of our main results.
