A degenerate parabolic equation of the form (|v| β-1 v) t = div(b(x, t)|∇v| p(x,t)-2 ∇v) + ∇ g • ∇ γ (v) is considered, where g = {g i (x, t)}, γ (v) = {γ i (v)}. If the diffusion coefficient b(x, t) ≥ 0 is degenerate on the boundary, by adding some restrictions on b(x, t) and g, the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions are proved. Based on the uniqueness, the stability of weak solutions can be proved without any boundary condition.
