Abstract

We consider the differential equation -(1 w)(pu)=f((.), u), where f is a nonlinear function, with nonlinear boundary conditions. Under appropriate assumptions on p, w, f and the boundary conditions, the existence of solutions is established. If the problem has a lower solution and an upper solution, then we use a quasilinearization method to obtain two monotonic sequences of approximate solutions converging quadratically to a solution of the equation.
