Abstract

We consider the differential equation - (1 / w) (pu) + μ u = Fu, where F is a nonlinear operator, 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.
