Exact solutions of variable coefficient nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations with a nonlinear convective term

Attempts have been made to look for the exact solutions of certain types of nonlinear diffusion-reaction equations which involve not only the quadratic and quartic nonlinearities but also a time-dependent nonlinear convective flux term. In particular, the solitary wave solutions are found. Such equations arise in a variety of contexts in physical and biological problems.
