Abstract: This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for a class of degenerate parabolic equations, which describes the movement of liquid in porous media, i.e., filtration. The definitions of the entropy solution and the weak solution were proposed, then by virtue of the regularized problem, the existence of the entropy solution was shown by using the compensatory compact theorem. Furthermore, the stability of the entropy solution was obtained by the double variable method.

Key words: doublely degenerate parabolic equation, entropy solution, stability
