## Application of the exp-function method for solving nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations arising in mathematical biology.(English)Zbl 1205.35325

Summary: We consider nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations arising in mathematical biology. We use the exp-function method in order to obtain conventional solitons and periodic solutions. The proposed scheme can be applied to a wide class of nonlinear equations.
