Abstract: This paper is concerned with the critical sharp traveling wave for doubly nonlinear diffusion equation with time delay, where the doubly nonlinear degenerate diffusion is defined by with m>0 and p>1. The doubly nonlinear diffusion equation is proved to admit a unique sharp type traveling wave for the degenerate case m(p1)>1, the so-called slow-diffusion case. This sharp traveling wave associated with the minimal wave speed c(m,p,r) is monotonically increasing, where the minimal wave speed satisfies c(m,p,r)<c(m,p,0) for any time delay r>0. The sharp front is C1-smooth for frac1p1<m<fracpp1, and piecewise smooth for mgefracpp1. Our results indicate that time delay slows down the minimal traveling wave speed for the doubly nonlinear degenerate diffusion equations. The approach adopted for proof is the phase transform method combining the variational method. The main technical issue for the proof is to overcome the obstacle caused by the doubly nonlinear degenerate diffusion.
