%0 Journal Article %A Carrillo Menéndez, José %T Entropy solutions for nonlinear degenerate problems %D 1999 %@ 0003-9527 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/57350 %X We consider a class of elliptic-hyperbolic degenerate equations g(u) - Delta b(u) + div phi (u) = f with Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions and a class of elliptic-parabolic-hyperbolic degenerate equations g(u)(t) - Delta b(u) + div phi (u) = f with homogeneous Dirichlet conditions and initial conditions. Existence of entropy solutions for both problems is proved for nondecreasing continuous functions g and b vanishing at zero and for a continuous vectorial function phi satisfying rather general conditions. Comparison and uniqueness of entropy solutions are proved for g and b continuous and nondecreasing and for phi continuous. %~
