This paper considers reaction-diffusion equations from a new point of view, by including spatiotemporal dependence in the source terms. We show for the first time that solutions are given in terms of the classical Painlevé transcendents. We consider reaction-diffusion equations with cubic and quadratic source terms. A new feature of our analysis is that the coefficient functions are also solutions of differential equations, including the Painlevé equations. Special cases arise with elliptic functions as solutions. Additional solutions given in terms of equations that are not integrable are also considered. Solutions are constructed using a Lie symmetry approach.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the initial boundary value problem of a class of nonlinear wave equations and reaction–diffusion equations with several nonlinear source terms of different signs. For the initial boundary value problem of the nonlinear wave equations, we derive a blow up result for certain initial data with arbitrary positive initial energy. For the initial boundary value problem of the nonlinear reaction–diffusion equations, we discuss some probabilities of the existence and nonexistence of global solutions and give some sufficient conditions for the global and nonglobal existence of solutions at high initial energy level by employing the comparison principle and variational methods.
