“…While Pao [28,29] investigated the existence and asymptotic behavior of the solution to a general reaction-diffusion equation with nonlocal BCs, analytical solution techniques have not been sufficiently investigated, even for linear equations. The majority of the results in the literature involve the development of numerical methods, for which exact solutions for simple cases are used to benchmark the accuracy of numerical solutions [25,27,[30][31][32][33][34][35]. Recent numerical methods also involve the use of neural networks [36].…”
