The commenter has declared there is no conflict of interests.

Comment: I believe that the name of Eq. (5) (with m=3) used in this preprint is inappropriate.
The authors should know that this equation is simply a particular case of the famous
FitzhughNagumo equation introduced in [1-2]. On the other hand, it is nothing elase but the real case of the classical
Newell=Whitehead model [3].
Travelling wave solutions of Eq. (5) (with m=3) were found for the first time in [4]
and then rediscovered in several papers in the 1990s
See more references in the extensive list in Chapter 1 of the recent monograph
"Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Systems Conditional Symmetry, Exact Solutions and their
Applications in Biology"(2017)

The authors should compare their results with those obtained about 2530 years ago otherwise it is not clear what essentially they have done.
