Symmetries and exact solutions of the diffusive Holling-Tanner prey-predator model

Abstract

We consider the classical Holling-Tanner model extended on 1D space by introducing the diffusion term. Making a reasonable simplification, the diffusive Holling-Tanner system is studied by means of symmetry based methods. Lie and Q-conditional (nonclassical) symmetries are identified. The symmetries obtained are applied for finding a wide range of exact solutions, their properties are studied and a possible biological interpretation is proposed. 3D plots of the most interesting solutions are drown as well.
