In this paper, we study the Dirichlet boundary value problem of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations. By a priori estimates, difference and variation techniques, we establish the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of this problem.

Keywords: Existence, uniqueness, weak solution, variation problem, $\mathcal{N}$-function.
