Abstract: We study the existence of monotone heteroclinic traveling waves for the $1$-dimensional reaction-diffusion equation ${\displaystyle }$ u_t = (| u_x |^{p-2} u_x + | u_x |^{q-2} u_x)_x + f(u), ${\displaystyle }$ where the non-homogeneous operator appearing on the right-hand side is known as $(p,q)$-Laplacian. Here we assume that $2leqq<p$ and $f$ is a nonlinearity of Fisher type, namely it is always positive out of its zeros. We give an estimate of the critical speed and we comment on the roles of $p$ and $q$ in the dynamics, providing some numerical simulations.
