Abstract
A model for a finite memory effect in the Fisher equation had been presented by Cattaneo [Acad. Sci. 247 (1958) 431]. By this model the type of the governing equation is transformed from a parabolic type to a hyperbolic one. But the Cattaneo’s equation does not reduce to the logistic equation in the homogeneous regime. A new model is presented which conserves the parabolic generic equation as well as the reduction property. Memory effects are visualized in the two models through numerical computations of solutions.
