Abstract
In this study, novel numerical methods are presented for solving nonlinear Fisher equations. These equations have a wide range of applications in various scientific and engineering fields, particularly in the biomedical sciences for determining the size of brain tumors. The challenges posed by the nonlinearity of the equations are effectively addressed through the development of numerical techniques. The nonlinearity is tackled using a combination of the method of lines and backward differentiation formulas of varied orders. This method is unconditionally stable, and its accuracy is evaluated using error norms. The methods are successfully validated against test problems with known solutions, demonstrating their superiority through comparative analyses with existing methodologies in the literature.
1 Introduction
The Fisher equation, first developed in 1937 [1], is expressed as follows in its original form:
where
This equation is commonly referred to as the Kolmogorov–Petrovsky–Piscunov equation [2]. The first exact solution of Eq. (1) was obtained by Ablowitz and Zeppetella [3]. Various alternative formulations of Eq. (1) were subsequently explored in multiple instances [4–6]. The Fisher equation has found numerous applications in various scientific and engineering disciplines, as evidenced in previous literature [7–11]. Researchers have explored it in various forms and extended its scope, as indicated in previous studies [12–16].
Various techniques have been employed to solve modified versions of the nonlinear Fisher’s reaction–diffusion equation. These approaches include the use of radial basis functions based on differential quadrature methods (RBFs with DQMs) [17], the Faedo–Galerkin method with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions [18], and the extended homogeneous balance method [19]. Furthermore, researchers have explored the application of Lie symmetries [20] and fractional extensions [21] to this equation. In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to develop efficient numerical techniques for computing solutions to the Fisher equation.
In this study, we utilize the method of lines (MOL) to semi-discretize the nonlinear reaction–diffusion equation, which effectively transforms it into a first-order ordinary differential equation (ODE). This approach, initially introduced by Schiesser in 1991 and documented in his research [22], has proven to be a powerful and effective tool for tackling time-dependent partial differential equations (PDEs). Within the MOL, we approximate spatial derivatives using finite differences. This method allows us to convert the PDEs into a set of ODEs that can be integrated over the time domain. To tackle the nonlinearity head-on, the study utilizes Newton’s method, providing implicit solutions that obviate the need for restrictive time step constraints.
We apply the finite difference method to introduce three distinct numerical approaches for addressing the generalized Fisher equation. These methods, referred to as backward differential formula (1) (BDF1), BDF2, and BDF3, involve replacing the differential equation with a discrete difference equation at each computational node. This substitution allows us to effectively employ backward differentiation techniques. After including boundary conditions in these equations, we proceed to solve the resulting system of algebraic equations. Various numerical solutions for Eq. (1) under different initial and boundary conditions have been investigated in previous studies [23–25]. Within the domain of numerical error analysis, the fully discretized system, which includes BDF1, demonstrates a time accuracy of the first order and spatial accuracy of the second order. On the other hand, BDF2 achieves quadratic accuracy not only in time but also in spatial dimensions. In comparison, BDF3 attains a significant third-order accuracy in the time dimension while maintaining a second-order accuracy in spatial computations.

Hence the proposed scheme is unconditionally stable.
8 Error analysis
We examine the error analysis of three different numerical techniques using the backward differentiation schemes of the first, second, and third order, based on the Taylor series expansion of the completely discretized numerical method.
8.1 BDF of order one (BDF1)
This scheme, fully discretized, can be expressed in the following manner using the BDF of the order one as specified in Eq. (7),
In this context, with
By applying the Taylor series expansion and subsequently simplifying, we deduce the following expression:
The expression for the truncation error (TE) is as follows:
Numerical errors grow in proportion to both the time step size and the square of the spatial step size. As a result, the recommended completely discretized system, when combined with the first-order BDF, exhibits second-order accuracy in spatial aspects and first-order accuracy in temporal aspects.
8.2 BDF of order two (BDF2)
The LTE associated with the scheme, fully discretized, can be expressed in the following manner using the BDF of the order two as specified in Eq. (8):
By applying the Taylor series expansion and subsequently simplifying, we deduce the following expression:
The expression for the TE is as follows:
Therefore, the errors demonstrate quadratic dependence on both the time and space step sizes.
8.3 BDF of order three (BDF3)
Similarly, we calculate the LTE for the entirely discretized system by employing the third-order BDF comparably.
The expression for the TE is as follows:
The computational inaccuracies exhibit a cubic relationship with the time increment and a quadratic relationship with the spatial increment. As a result, the errors are reduced to a minimum when employing the completely discretized method with BDF3, and this finding is further substantiated by the outcomes from multiple test scenarios.
9 Numerical tests and conversations
In this section, we evaluate the accuracy of the proposed techniques [28] by computing errors in both the
The rate of numerical convergence for these methods has been determined using the subsequent formula:

In this study, we compare numerical results and exact solutions derived from different BDFs. Tables 1 and 2 focus on the evaluation of three BDF methods at fixed time instances but varying spatial positions, providing insights into their spatial performance. In parallel, Tables 3 and 4 explore error comparisons under consistent time points but different spatial locations, offering valuable information about precision. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 illustrate the computed solutions produced by BDF methods of first, second, and third orders, together with the exact solution, across a range of alpha values. In Figures 7 and 8, the absolute errors are depicted at the same time points but in different spatial locations. In a concurrent analysis, we expanded our comparison by using a time step of
