Table 10 \(L_{1}\) and \(L_{\infty }\) errors CPU time at some different values of time-step size k for Problem 1 with \(\rho =10^{4}\) at time \(2.5\times 10^{-3}\) with spatial mesh size \(\sigma =2.0 \) and \(h=0.01\) using FTCS with artificial viscosity

From: On the numerical solution of Fisher’s equation with coefficient of diffusion term much smaller than coefficient of reaction term
