• Traveling wave solutions for the one-dimensional degenerate parabolic equations are considered. The purpose of this paper is to classify the nonnegative traveling wave solutions including sense of weak solutions of these equations and to present their existence, information about their shape and asymptotic behavior. These are studied by applying the framework that combines Poincaré compactification and classical dynamical systems theory. We also aim to use these results to generalize the results of our previous studies. The key to this is the introduction of a transformation, which overcomes the generalization difficulties faced by these studies.

Here it should be noted that the position of the singularity point $\xi_{*}$ is not determined in our studies, however, they are shown in the figures for the convenience.
