Hi Khaled,
Your problem is a non-linear variant of the classic fisher
equations.There are local fixed-point schemes that can guarantee
convergence but global solutions cannot be guaranteed to exist.
(i) I have used Mathematica to work out the steady state solution and in
that case you just eliminate the derivative in t and it becomes a standard
laplace equation.
(ii) I highly doubt that this kind of problem would have travelling wave
solution because in Poincare phase plane only one critical point exists.
In such scenarios you would need to use a "finite-difference" scheme
that achieves stable results.Since,Mathematica does have "finite-difference"
notebooks available check those out over the web.
Best of luck!
