Abstract
In this paper, we have obtained the traveling wave solution for generalized Fisher equation and Lotka–Volterra (L-V) model with diffusion using hyperbolic function method. The Painleve’ analysis has been used to check both of the system’s integrability. Obtained solutions have also been plotted to represent their spatio-temporal dependence. The three dimensional plot shows a monotonic profile of the solutions.
