Abstract:
In this research, an unrivalled hybrid scheme which involves the coupling of the new Elzaki integral transform (an improved version of Laplace transform) and a modified differential transform called the projected differential transform (PDTM) have been implemented to solve the generalized Burgers-Fisher's equation; which springs up due to the fusion of the Burgers' and the Fisher's equation; describing convective effects, diffusion transport or interaction between reaction mechanisms, traffic flows; and turbulence; consequently finding meaningful applicability in the applied sciences viz: gas dynamics, fluid dynamics, turbulence theory, reaction-diffusion theory, shock-wave formation, traffic flows, financial mathematics, and so on. Using the proposed Elzaki projected differential transform method (EPDTM), a generalized exact solution (Solitary solution) in form of a Taylor multivariate series has been obtained; of which the highly nonlinear terms and derivatives handled by PDTM have been decomposed without expansion, computation of Adomian or He's polynomials, discretization, restriction of parameters, and with less computational work whilst achieving a highly convergent results when compared to other existing analytical/exact methods in the literature, via comparison tables, 3D plots, convergence plots and fluid-like plots. Thus showing the distinction, novelty and huge advantage of the proposed method as an asymptotic alternative, in providing generalized or solitary wave solution to a wider class of differential equations.
