A nonlinear parabolic equation from a two-phase problem is considered in this paper. The existence of weak solutions is proved by the standard parabolically regularized method. Different from the related papers, one of diffusion coefficients in the equation, $b(x)$

, is degenerate on the boundary. Then the Dirichlet boundary value condition may be overdetermined. In order to study the stability of weak solution, how to find a suitable partial boundary value condition is the foremost work. Once such a partial boundary value condition is found, the stability of weak solutions will naturally follow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
