An analytical study for Fisher type equations by using homotopy perturbation method. (English) Zbl 1201.65187
Summary: The homotopy perturbation method is applied to Fisher type equations. The solutions introduced in this study are in recursive sequence forms which can be used to obtain the closed form of the solutions if they are required. The method is tested on various examples which reveal the effectiveness and the simplicity of the method.
