Table 6 \(L_{1}\) and \(L_{\infty }\) errors and CPU time at some different values of time-step size k for Problem 1 at time \(2.5\times 10^{-3}\) with spatial mesh size \(h=0.01\) using NSFD scheme, where \(T_{\max }=2.5\times 10^{-3}\)

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