We consider the interaction of traveling curved fronts in bistable reaction-diffusion equations in two-dimensional spaces. We first characterize the growth of the traveling curved fronts at infinity; then by constructing appropriate subsolutions and supersolutions, we prove that the solution of the Cauchy problem converges to a pair of diverging traveling curved fronts in R2 under appropriate initial conditions.

We develop a new approach to obtain the existence of travelling wave solutions for reaction–diffusion equations with delayed non-local response. The approach is based on an abstract formulation of the wave profile as a solution of an operational equation in a certain Banach space, coupled with an index formula of the associated Fredholm operator and some careful estimation of the nonlinear perturbation. The general result relates the existence of travelling wave solutions to the existence of heteroclinic connecting orbits of a corresponding functional differential equation, and this result is illustrated by an application to a model describing the population growth when the species has two age classes and the diffusion of the individual during the maturation process leads to an interesting non-local and delayed response for the matured population.
