The method of conditional Lie-Bäcklund symmetry is applied to solve a class of reaction-diffusion equations ut+uxx+Qxux2+Pxu+Rx=0, which have wide range of applications in physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, and financial mathematics theory. The resulting equations are either solved exactly or reduced to some finite-dimensional dynamical systems. The exact solutions obtained in concrete examples possess the extended forms of the separation of variables.

We consider the existence of stationary or pinned waves of reaction–diffusion equations in heterogeneous media. By combining averaging, homogenization and dynamical-systems techniques we prove under mild non-degeneracy conditions that if the heterogeneity is periodic with period ε, pinned solutions persist at most for intervals in parameter space whose length is O(e−c/√ε).

The third-order conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations are constructed due to the method of linear determining equations. As a consequence, the exact solutions of the resulting equations are derived due to the compatibility of the governing equations and the admitted differential constraints, which are resting on the characteristic of the admitted conditional Lie–Bäcklund symmetries to be zero.
