    Abstract

    We prove the equivalence of weak solutions and entropy solutions of an elliptic-parabolic-hyperbolic degenerate equation g(t)t - Δb(u) + div φ(u) = f with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions and initial conditions. As a result of the equivalence, we obtain the L1-contraction principle and uniqueness of weak solutions of elliptic-parabolic degenerate equations.
