<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A nonlinear parabolic equation from a two-phase problem is considered in this paper. The existence of weak solutions is proved by the standard parabolically regularized method.

In order to study the stability of weak solution, how to find a suitable partial boundary value condition is the foremost work. Once such a partial boundary value condition is found, the stability of weak solutions will naturally follow.</jats:p>
