Abstract
The monotone iterative method is used to obtain sufficient
conditions which guarantee that a delay differential equation with
a nonlinear boundary condition has quasisolutions, extremal
solutions, or a unique solution. Such results are obtained using
techniques of weakly coupled lower and upper solutions or lower
and upper solutions. Corresponding results are also obtained for
such problems with more delayed arguments. Some new interesting
results are also formulated for delay differential inequalities.
