In this paper, we consider an initial-value problem for a non-linear hyperbolic Fisher equation. The non-linear hyperbolic Fisher equation is given by ∈utt + ut = uxx + F(u) + ∈F(u)t, where ∈ > 0 is a parameter and F(u) = u(1 - u) is the classical Fisher kinetics. The initial data considered is positive, having unbounded support with exponential decay of O(e-σx) at large x (dimensionless distance), where σ > 0 is a parameter. It is established, via the method of matched asymptotic expansions, that the large time structure of the solution to the initial-value problem involves the evolution of a propagating wavefront which is either of reaction-diffusion or of reaction-relaxation type. In particular, the wave speed for the large t (dimensionless time) permanent form travelling wave (PTW), which may be subsonic (reaction-diffusion), sonic (reaction-relaxation) or supersonic (reaction-relaxation), the asymptotic correction to the wave speed and the rate of convergence of the solution onto the PTW are obtained for all values of the parameters ∈ and σ.
