A hunter-gatherer–farmer population model: Lie symmetries, exact solutions and their interpretation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 February 2018
Abstract
The Lie symmetry classification of the known three-component reaction–diffusion system modelling the spread of an initially localized population of farmers into a region occupied by hunter-gatherers is derived. The Lie symmetries obtained for reducing the system in question to systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and constructing exact solutions are applied. Several exact solutions of travelling front type are also found, their properties are identified and biological interpretation is discussed.
