Abstract: Exact solutions for nonlinear Arrhenius reaction-diffusion are constructed in $n$ dimensions. A single relationship between nonlinear diffusivity and the nonlinear reaction term leads to a nonclassical Lie symmetry whose invariant solutions have a heat flux that is exponential in time (either growth or decay), and satisfying a linear Helmholtz equation in space. This construction extends also to heterogeneous diffusion wherein the nonlinear diffusivity factorises to the product of a function of temperature and a function of position. Example solutions are given with applications to heat conduction in conjunction with either exothermic or endothermic reactions, and to soil-water flow in conjunction with water extraction by a web of plant roots.
