A rather general parabolic equation is considered which includes the cases of fast and slow diffusion. The existence of weak solutions is established by means of the line method. It consists of discretizing the problem with respect to the time variable. The problem then reduces to an elliptic system which can be solved by means of a variational method. A solution to the original equation is obtained by letting the time steps tend to zero.
