Abstract

This paper is devoted to proving the existence of the extremal solutions of a φ-Laplacian dynamic equation coupled with nonlinear boundary functional conditions that include as a particular case the Dirichlet and multipoint ones. We assume the existence of a pair of well-ordered lower and upper solutions.
