Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the following implicit nonlinear discontinuous functional boundary value problem (IP){L0u(t) = f(t,u,L0u) for a.e. t∈I = [a, b],, L1(u) =B1(u,L1(u)), 0=L2(u(a),u(b)), where L0u(t) = -d/dt φ(t,u(t),u'(t)) - g(t,u,u(t),u'(t)), and L1(u) = L1 (u(a),u(b),u'(a),u'(b),u).Supposing that there is a lower solution α and an upper solution β such that α ≤ β, the existence of extremal solutions lying between both functions is proved.
