As an application, this fixed point index theory is combined with the method of lower and upper solutions in order to obtain new existence, localization and multiplicity results for ϕ-Laplacian problems with discontinuous nonlinearities and nonlinear functional boundary conditions.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Fixed point index theoryDiscontinuous differential equationMultiple solutionsϕ-Laplacian equationLower and upper solutionsFixed point index theory for decomposable multivalued maps and applications to discontinuous ϕ-Laplacian problemsjournal article10.1016/j.na.2020.111958open access
