Exact Nonclassical Symmetry Solutions of Lotka-Volterra Type Population Systems
Abstract
New classes of conditionally integrable systems of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations are introduced. They are obtained by extending a well known nonclassical symmetry of a scalar partial differential equation to a vector equation. New exact solutions of nonlinear predator-prey systems, related to the diffusive Lotka-Volterra system, are constructed. An infinite dimensional class of exact solutions is made available. Unlike in the standard Lotka-Volterra system, in the absence of predators, the prey population has a finite carrying capacity, as in the Fisher equation.
