It is well known that a competition-diffusion system has a one-dimensional traveling front. This paper studies traveling front solutions of pyramidal shapes in a competition-diffusion system in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $N\geq 2$. By using a multi-scale method, we construct a suitable pair of a supersolution and a subsolution, and find a pyramidal traveling front solution between them.
Keywords: pyramidal shapes, Traveling front, competition-diffusion system..
