Abstract
In this paper, we first study the existence of transition fronts (generalized traveling fronts) for reaction-diffusion equations with the spatially heterogeneous bistable nonlinearity. By constructing sub-solution and super-solution we then show that transition fronts are globally exponentially stable for the solutions of the Cauchy problem. Furthermore, we prove that transition fronts are unique up to translation in time by using the monotonicity in time and the exponential decay of such transition fronts.
