Bounding Surfaces and Second Order Quasilinear Equations with Compatible Nonlinear Functional Boundary Conditions

Abstract

Abstract We establish existence results for solutions to functional boundary value problems for φ- Laplacian ordinary differential equations assuming there are lower and upper solutions and Lipschitz bounding surfaces for the derivative which we adapt to our problem. Our results apply to some problems which do not satisfy Nagumo growth bounds. Moreover they contain as special cases many results for the p- and ɸ-Laplacians as well as many results where the boundary conditions depend on n-points or even functionals. Our boundary conditions generalize those of Fabry and Habets, Cabada and Pouso, Cabada, O’Regan and Pouso, and many others.
