In this paper, we consider an initial-value problem for a hyperbolic Fisher equation. In particular, we consider the corresponding travelling wave problem and establish the conditions under which permanent-form travelling wave solutions exist. Numerical simulations of the initial-value problem are also presented.

Keywords: travelling wave-fronts; hyperbolic Fisher model.
