Review text

The authors study the numerical solution of an initial boundary value problem for the generalized Kolmogorov-Petrowsky-Piscunov equation: \(v_t=(v^m)_{xx} + s_0 v^p -a_0 v^q\), where \(m,p,q,s_0\) and \(a_0\) are positive parameters. The numerical scheme used in this paper is based on a slightly modified finite difference scheme of Douglas-Yanenko-Mimura type. Some qualitative behavior of the solution is presented, for example, if the initial data have compact support, the solution also will have compact support and an interface appears between the domains where the solution is positive and where it is zero. Numerical examples and numerical interfaces for different parameter values are given.
