    Similarity solutions of Reaction-Diffusion equation with space- and time-dependent diffusion and reaction terms

    We consider solvability of the generalized reaction-diffusion equation with both space- and time-dependent diffusion and reaction terms by means of the similarity method. By introducing the similarity variable, the reaction-diffusion equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation. Matching the resulting ordinary differential equation with known exactly solvable equations, one can obtain corresponding exactly solvable reaction-diffusion systems. Several representative examples of exactly solvable reaction-diffusion equations are presented.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

    Large scale systems are defined as systems requiring more than one decision maker to control the system. Decentralized control and decomposition are discussed for large scale dynamic systems. Information and many-person decision problems are analyzed
