In this paper we apply fixed point results for mappings in partially ordered spaces to derive existence results for extremal solutions of phi-Laplacian initial and boundary value problems. The considered problems can be singular, functional, discontinuous, nonlocal and implicit. Concrete examples are also solved. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
