This paper considers the existence of extreme solutions of the periodic boundary value problems for the second order functional dzfferential equations The novelty zs that we introduce a new concept for lower and upper solutions and present that the method of lower and upper solutions coupled with monotone iterative techmque is still valid Meanwhile, we extend previous results (~)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
