On a nonlinear degenerate parabolic transport-diffusion equation with a discontinuous coefficient

We study the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear (possibly strongly) degenerate parabolic transport-diffusion equation $$ partial_t u + partial_x (gamma(x)f(u))=partial_x^2 A(u), quad A'(cdot)ge 0, $$ where the coefficient $gamma(x)$ is possibly discontinuous and $f(u)$ is genuinely nonlinear, but...
