Abstract
In this research work, we propose an algorithm which involves the coupling of a new integral transform called the Elzaki transform and the well-known homotopy perturbation method on the Burgers–Huxley equation which is a type of nonlinear advection–diffusion partial differential equation. The Burgers–Huxley equation which models reaction mechanisms, diffusion transports and nerve ion propagation which is applicable in traffic flows, acoustics, turbulence theory, hydrodynamics and generally mechanics is the fusion of the well-known Burgers equation and the Huxley equation. We proffer an analytical solution in the form of a Taylor multivariate series of displacement x and time t using the proposed Elzaki homotopy transformation perturbation method (EHTPM) to three cases of the Burgers–Huxley equation. This solution converges rapidly to a closed form which is the same as the exact solutions obtained using the normal analytical methods from the existing literatures. The exact results and that of our proposed EHTPM when compared via tables and 3D plots show an excellent agreement devoid of errors.

1 Introduction
A partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation involving functions of more than one independent variable and their partial derivatives. They occur in many applications and play a big role in engineering and applied sciences [1]. For instance, a second-order partial differential equation for the function \(u\left( {x,y} \right)\) is \(F\left( {x,y,u,u_{x} ,u_{y} ,u_{xx} ,u_{yy} ,u_{xy} } \right) = 0\) where the function \(F\) is given. An equation is said to be linear if the unknown function and its derivatives are linear in \(F\).
An example of a first-order linear equation is
where the functions \(a, b, c \;{\text{and}}\; f\) are given. Contrary to this, the equation is nonlinear. Nonlinear equations are equations with nonlinear terms.
Nonlinear partial differential equation (NPDE) has been widely studied by numerous researchers over the years and has become ubiquitous in nature [2,3,4,5,6,7,8]; it can be classified into integrable and non-integrable.
The integrable equations are those whose behaviour is determined by their initial conditions and, as a matter of fact, can be solved by integrating them from those initial conditions. However, some nonlinear PDEs are integrable after some symbolic transformation. These equations have numerous exact solutions being constructed to them but, however, still need the attention of mathematicians as there is no single best method for a model/problem.
The preference of a method to another lies in the rapid convergence to exact results, computational stress and simplicity of the method. However, some methods can perform better on some models than others due to the nonlinearity of the model and the radius of convergence of such method. Necdet Bildik and some other authors buttressed this based on their convergence analysis on some iterative methods [9, 10].
Amongst these integrable equations are the Benjamin–Ono equation relevant in internal waves in deep water, nonlinear Schrödinger equation applicable in optics and water waves, Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation applied in shallow water waves, Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation applicable in shallow waves models, the sine–Gordon equation applicable in solitions and quantum field theory and so on [11].
On the contrary, non-integrable equations, viz. the Ginzburg–Landau equation applied in the theory of conductivity, Fisher’s equation applied in genetic propagation, Burgers–Huxley equation applicable in advection–diffusion models and so on, require special attention, methods and constructive algorithm in order to obtain their exact solution. They are known to have few or no exact solutions.
However, just like the integrable equations, there are some numerous remarkable methods which are used to obtain exact and explicit solutions of non-integrable PDEs. The most remarkable ones are the Jacobi elliptic function method, the tanh function method, Weierstrass elliptic function method, Hirota bilinear method [12] to mention a few.
Exact solution rarely exists generally for nonlinear differential equations (ordinary and partial), and as a result of this, efforts have been made over the years in constructing semi-analytical and numerical means or schemes/algorithms for solving them, viz. Taylor collocation method [13, 14], Euler collocation methods [15], wavelet collocation methods [5, 6, 16], iterative differential quadrature method (IDQ) [17], variational iteration method [7, 18, 19], homotopy perturbation method [20,21,22,23], perturbation iteration method [10, 24], Adomian decomposition method [9], new iterative method [25] and homotopy analysis method [26, 27].
The investigation and development of travelling wave solution play a prominent role in nonlinear science, and numerous soliton scientists have also endeavoured to seek the solitary wave solution of numerous models including the Burgers–Huxley equation [28,29,30,31].
In quest of seeking exact solutions for model/equations, mathematicians have also come up with hybrid methods (coupling two distinct methods) to obtain exact solutions of some models, viz. Sumudu decomposition method [32,33,34], homotopy perturbation transformation method [35, 36], homotopy variational iteration method [37], Elzaki differential transform [38], Elzaki projected differential transform [39, 40], Elzaki homotopy transformation perturbation method [41,42,43], Laplace Adomian decomposition method [44] and Laplace variational iteration method [45,46,47].
Very recently, Ziane et al. have coupled Elzaki integral transform and variational iteration method on partial differential equations of fractional order [48]; Dhunde and Waghmare [4] have coupled the double Laplace transform with the new iterative method on nonlinear partial differential equations; Jena and Chakraverty [43] have coupled the Elzaki transform with the homotopy perturbation on time-fractional Navier–Stokes equation of which a series solution which converges rapidly to the exact solutions of the problems was obtained using these proposed methods.
In this paper, we applied an unprecedented hybrid method that involves a new integral transform (Elzaki transform) which is a modification of Sumudu integral transform with the well-known homotopy perturbation method on the Burgers–Huxley equation of three cases as a result of variation of equation parameters. The solution of these three cases is found to be an infinite multivariate Taylor series which rapidly converges to the exact solution of the problem.
The Elzaki transform was invented by Elzaki [49] and was derived from the classical Fourier integral and a modification of the existing Sumudu transform. Based on the mathematical simplicity of the Elzaki transform, it facilitates the process of solving ordinary and partial differential equations in the time domain [50,51,52]. The transform is defined by
Here, \(f(t)\) is a function of time.
The idea of homotopy perturbation (HPM) [53] was introduced by Ji-Huan He, who merged the traditional perturbation technique with the homotopy in topology by constructing a convex homotopy, considering the unknown function to a be an infinite series of an imbedding parameter \(p \in [0,1]\)(perturbing the unknown function), and then obtain the solution of the problem in series form converging to the exact solution. He used it to solve strongly nonlinear problems in applied sciences, such as the Duffing equations and the eardrum equations [20,21,22, 53].
Unlike nonlinear PDEs, linear partial differential equations could be solved analytically and by using integral transforms like the Elzaki transform [50], Laplace, Sumudu [54, 55] and Fourier transforms. But due to the complexity caused by the nonlinear terms, these integral transforms are totally incapable of solving nonlinear partial differential equations. In this case, we introduce a semi-analytical method (homotopy perturbation method) so as to handle the nonlinear terms (Fig. 1).
In addition, the Elzaki transform is an analytical method which provides exact solutions, while the homotopy perturbation is a semi-analytical method which provides approximate solutions. As a result, coupling these two methods would definitely yield a result extremely similar and highly convergent to the exact solution of the problem.
The huge advantage of this algorithm using Elzaki transform lies in the capability of combining two powerful methods with the need of only initial conditions for obtaining an exact solution of the nonlinear advection–diffusion equation (Fig. 2).
2 The Burgers–Huxley equation
The Burgers–Huxley equation is a nonlinear partial differential equation which describes a wide class of physical nonlinear phenomena. It describes the interaction between reaction mechanisms, convection effects and diffusion transports. It finds its application in many fields such as biology, nonlinear acoustics, metallurgy, chemistry, combustion, mathematics and engineering by Satsuma et al. [56]. The Burgers–Huxley equation came into existence due to the combined efforts of Bateman [57, 58], Burgers [59] for the Burgers equation and also Hodgkin and Huxley [60] for the Huxley equation.
The generalized form of the Burgers–Huxley equation is given as (Fig. 3):
\(0 \le x \le 1,\;t \ge 0;\) with the initial condition of Eq. (2) is subjected to
where
\(\beta \ge 0\) is the reaction coefficient, \(\alpha > 0\) is the advection coefficient, \(\gamma\) and \(\delta\) are real constants with \(\gamma \in \left( {0,1} \right)\) and \(\delta > 0\), \(u_{xx}\) is the diffusive term, \(u^{\delta } u_{x}\) is the advection term, while \(u\left( {1 - u^{\delta } } \right)\left( {u^{\delta } - \gamma } \right)\) is the reaction term.
The above nonlinear partial differential Eq. (2) models the interaction between reaction mechanisms, convection effects and diffusion transports [56].
When \(\alpha = 0 \;{\text{and}}\; \delta = 1\), then Eq. (2) is reduced to the ‘Huxley’s equation’. This describes the nerve propagation in nerve fibres and wall motion in liquid crystals [28].
When \(\beta = 0\;{\text{and}}\;\delta = 1\), Eq. (2) reduces to ‘Burgers equation’. This describes the far field of wave propagation in nonlinear dissipative system [58].
Several attempts have been made by researchers to obtain the exact or analytical and numerical solution of the Burgers–Huxley equation over time.
An analytical solution was proffered to a fractional Burgers–Huxley equation using the residual power series method by Freihat [61], and an exact solution and special form of the Burgers–Huxley equation were obtained using the \(\left( {{{G^{\prime } } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{G^{\prime } } G}} \right. \kern-0pt} G}} \right)\) expansion method by Zhu [62]. Nourazar et al. [63] obtained the exact solution of the Burgers–Huxley equation using the homotopy perturbation method, Mittal and Tripathi [64] obtained numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers–Fisher and generalized Burgers–Huxley equations using the collocation of cubic B-splines, Kamboj and Sharma [65] through iteration obtained an analytical solution to a singularly perturbed Burgers–Huxley equation, and Feng et al. [66] obtained a travelling wave solution to the Burgers–Huxley equation (Fig. 4).
A solitary wave solution was obtained for the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation by El-Danaf [29], while Tomasiello [17] obtained a numerical solution of the Burgers–Huxley equation using the iterative differential quadrature (IDQ) method (Fig. 5).
Furthermore, a travelling wave solution of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation was obtained by Deng [67], while Hashim et al. [9] solved the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation using the Adomian decomposition method and so on (Fig. 6).
3 Elzaki transform
The Elzaki transform is a semi-infinite convergent integral of the form.
Or
The function \(f\) is of exponential order in the set
If
then
It is called modified Sumudu transform invented/introduced by Tarig M. Elzaki.
By proceeding, we have the transform of derivatives using integration by parts:
Higher-order derivatives with respect to \(t\) can be obtained by mathematical induction as:
4 Homotopy perturbation method
The homotopy perturbation method was proposed by He [53] who is a Chinese professor of mathematics in 1998; he was able to couple the traditional perturbation method with the homotopy in topology of which he employed in solving some nonlinear breath taking problems.
Homotopy is a fundamental concept in topology and differential geometry [68]. The concept of homotopy can be traced back to rules of Poincare (1854–1982) [69], a French mathematician.
Shortly speaking, a homotopy describes a kind of continuous variation or deformation in mathematics.
For examples, a circle can be continuously deformed into the square or an ellipse; also, the shape of a coffee cup can be continuously deformed into a doughnut.
However, the shape of a coffee cup cannot be distorted continuously into the shape of a football; essentially, a homotopy defines a connection between different things in mathematics, which contains some characteristics in some aspects [70].
We consider two topological spaces \((X,\tau_{1} )\) and \((Y,\tau_{2} )\) of which f and g are continuous maps of the spaces X and Y, F being homotopic to g means a deformation of f into g, and if \((X,\tau_{1} )\) and \((Y,\tau_{2} )\) are continuous, the \(\forall \tau_{1} \in X\exists f^{ - 1} (\tau {}_{2}) \in Y\). (This is surjection.)
It is said that \(f\) is homotopic to \(g\), if there is a continuous map.
such that
with the unit interval \([0,1]\forall x \in X\)
Then this map is called homotopy between \(f\) and \(g\)
4.1 Illustration of the method
For the homotopy perturbation method, we consider a general equation of the type
where \(D\) is any differential operator. A convex homotopy (deformation) \(H\left( {u,p} \right)\) is defined such that
F (u) is a fundamental operator with known solution \(u_{0}\) which can be obtained easily.
It is clear that \(H(u,p) = 0\) since \(D(u) = 0\) and \(H(u,p)\) is a convex homotopy on \(D(u)\).
For the convex homotopy \(H(u,p)\), we have that \(H(u,p) = F(u),H(u,1) = D(u)\).
This monotonic changing process of \(p\) from zero to unity (\(p = 1\)) indicates that the known solution deforms into the original problem \(D(u) = 0\) where \(p \in [0,1]\) is taken as an expanding parameter.
In this method, we first use the imbedding parameter ‘p’ as a ‘small parameter’ and assume that the solution of Eq. (13) can be written as power series in P.
By setting ‘p’ to unity \(\left( {p \to 1} \right)\) in Eq. (15), we obtained approximate solution of Eq. (1) to be
5 Application of the Elzaki homotopy transformation perturbation method algorithm to the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation
We consider the generalized nonlinear Burgers–Huxley equation in (2) subjected to the initial condition \(u(x,0) = f(x)\), and we take the Elzaki transform as:
Recall that
By rearranging terms appropriately and multiplying through by \(v\), we have:
By taking the Inverse Elzaki transform of (21), we have:
\(E^{ - 1} \left[ {v^{2} f(x)} \right]\) gives a new function \(G(x,t),\), while \(u_{xx} - \alpha u^{\delta } u_{x} + \beta (u(1 - u^{\delta } )(u^{\delta } - \gamma )\) is the ‘arising nonlinear term’ of Eq. (2).
We now apply the next method in the algorithm; this is the homotopy perturbation method on (23).
Let
Equation (23) becomes:
The arising nonlinear terms
would be decomposed into the a polynomial denoted by \(\sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^{\infty } {p^{n} H_{n} (n)}\)
Then,
\(\sum\nolimits_{n = 0}^{\infty } {p^{n} H_{n} (n)}\) is a polynomial in terms of the imbedding parameter \(p \in [0,1]\) called the He’s polynomial which represents the nonlinear terms. This polynomial can be calculated by the formula
where \(N\) is the nonlinear operator.
Then Eq. (25) becomes:
By opening up the series in (28), we obtain:
By comparing the coefficients from the powers of \(p\), we have
This is the coupling of the Elzaki transform and the homotopy perturbation using the He’s polynomial [41, 42] on the Burgers–Huxley equation
Having obtained \(u_{0} (x,t),u_{1} (x,t),u_{2} (x,t)\), etc. up to desired iteration, then the solution according to homotopy \(\left( {p \to 1} \right)\) is given by
Equation (31) results in a Taylor’s series of two variables of which its close form can be determined.

7 Results
In this section, we present a relationship and comparison between the exact results and the Elzaki homotopy transformation perturbation (EHTPM) results for the three cases of the Burgers–Huxley equation using tables and 3D-Plots.
The exact results were obtained from a general solution presented by Wang et al. [28] as:
where \(\sigma = \frac{{\delta \left( {\rho - \alpha } \right)}}{{4\left( {1 + \delta } \right)}},\) and \(\rho = \sqrt {\alpha^{2} + 4\beta \left( {1 + \delta } \right)}\)
8 Conclusion
We have studied the Burgers–Huxley equation of three cases using the Elzaki homotopy transformation perturbation method (EHTPM). This method is unprecedented.
The EHTPM results when compared to the exact obtained from the prominent literatures and to using the ordinary homotopy [28, 63] clearly show a high level of rapid convergence and exactness than the ordinary homotopy. These solutions obtained via the proposed EHTPM are easily interpreted as it is presented in a Taylor multivariate series and closed form with a precise and straightforward algorithm, with no restrictions, discretization and devoid of errors.
On this note, we strongly recommend the proposed EHTPM in solving models in fluid flow and fluid dynamics, engineering, nonlinear dynamics, acoustics, convection diffusion models, advection diffusion models and so on. In addition, this method is highly efficient enough and can be brought into the classroom to provide analytical solutions to equations similar to the Burgers–Huxley equation and other nonlinear partial differential equation as well.
