[For the entire collection see Zbl 0869.00011.] A class of nonlinear second-order parabolic equations is studied in a cylinder \(Q\). The problem under consideration is to find a regular solution to a boundary value problem in the domain \(Q\) under the assumption that the coefficient at the derivative \(u_t\) can vanish on an arbitrary set of its arguments. The author formulates conditions on the coefficients of the equations and boundary data and proves an existence theorem for a regular local in time solution to the stated problem. To prove the theorem, the author approximates the problem by problems with uniformly parabolic equations and constructs explicit lower and upper solutions to these new problems. In the process, she obtains estimates for solutions to the approximating problems and shows that, passing to the limit with the help of these estimates, a limit function is obtained which is the desired solution. The paper contains an example which illustrates that, under the conditions of the theorem, the regular global in time solution does not exist.
