In this paper, we study periodic problems for second-order differential inclusions in R N with a maximal monotone term. The nonlinear differential operator is not necessarily homogeneous, does not obey any growth condition and incorporates as a special case the one-dimensional p-Laplacian. Using tec

Abstract
We consider a nonlinear second order differential inclusion driven by the scalar pโLaplacian and with nonlinear multivalued boundary conditions. Assuming the existence of an ordered pair of upperโlower solutions and using truncation and penalization techniques together with Zorn's lemma, we show that the problem has extremal solutions in the order interval formed by the upper und lower solutions. We present some special cases of interest and show that our method applies also to the periodic problem. (ยฉ 2005 WILEYโVCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
