Abstract The method of lower and upper solutions combined with the monotone iterative technique is used for ordinary differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions. Some existence results are formulated for such problems.

AbstractAn elementary approach, based on a systematic use of lower and upper solutions, is employed to detect the qualitative properties of solutions of first order scalar periodic ordinary differential equations. This study is carried out in the Carathéodory setting, avoiding any uniqueness assumption, in the future or in the past, for the Cauchy problem. Various classical and recent results are recovered and generalized.

In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems of arbitrary even order using the lower and upper solutions method. In particular, we point out the fact that the existence of a pair of lower and upper solutions of a considered problem could imply the existence of solution of another one with different boundary conditions. We consider Neumann, Dirichlet, mixed and periodic boundary conditions.

We develop the method of lower and upper solutions for a class of elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. As its application, an elliptic system modeling a population divided into juvenile and adult age groups is studied, and we find sufficient conditions in terms of the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding linearized system, to guarantee the existence of coexistence states of the above juvenile-adult model.
