# Existence and uniqueness of similarity solutions of a generalized heat equation arising in a model of cell migration

• We study similarity solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation that is a generalization of the heat equation. Substitution of the similarity ansatz reduces the partial differential equation to a nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation on the half-line with Neumann boundary conditions at both boundaries. The existence and uniqueness of solutions is proven using Ważewski's Principle.
