In the present work, polynomial, discrete singular convolution and sinc quadrature techniques are employed as the new techniques to derive accurate and efficient numerical solutions for the reaction–diffusion equations. Three models, Fitzhugh-Nagumo, Newell–Whitehead–Segel, and tumor growth models, were presented. The equations of three models are reduced to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by using different quadrature schemes. Then, Runge–Kutta fourth-order method is employed to solve nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In addition, the MATLAB program is used to solve these problems. Comparisons between the new methods and the existing ones are included, demonstrating the ease of implementation and efficiency. Also, the calculated results are supported by four various statistical errors. It is found that the rate of error reaches ≤ 10–6 in discrete singular convolution depending on regularized Shannon kernel which is better than others. Further, a parametric analysis is presented to discuss the influence of diffusion and reaction parameters on the solution.
