Abstract

In this paper, the problem of approximate symmetries of a class of non-linear reaction-diffusion equations called Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskounov (KPP) equation is comprehensively analyzed. In order to compute the approximate symmetries, we have applied the method which was proposed by Fushchich and Shtelen [8] and fundamentally based on the expansion of the dependent variables in a perturbation series. Particularly, an optimal system of one dimensional subalgebras is constructed and some invariant solutions corresponding to the resulted symmetries are obtained.
