ABSTRACT
In this paper existence of extremal solutions of second order initial value
problems with discontinuous right hand side is obtained under certain
monotonicity conditions and without assumingtheexistenceofupperandlower
solutions. Two basic differential inequalities correspondingtotheseinitialvalue
problems are obtained in the form of extremal solutions. And also we prove
uniqueness of solutions of given initial value problems under certainconditions.
Keywords: Completelattice,Tarskifixed pointtheorem, isotoneincreasing,minimal
and maximal solutions.
1. INTRODUCTION
In [1], B C Dhage ,G P Patil established the existence of extremal solutions of the
nonlinear two point boundary value problems and in [2] , B C Dhage established
the existence of weak maximal and minimal solutions of the nonlinear two point
boundary value problems with discontinuousfunctionsontherighthand side.We
use the mechanism of [1]and [2] ,to develop the results for second order initial
value problems.
2. Second order initial value problems
Let R denote the real line and R+
, the set of all non negativerealnumbers.Suppose
I1= [0, A] is a closed and bounded interval in R. In this paper we shall establishthe
existence of maximal and minimal solutions for the second order initial value
problems of the type
x11 = f(t,x,x1) a.a. t∈I1 = [0,A], A>o with x(0)=a, x1(0)=b (2.1)
where f : I1xRxR →Risafunctionand

By a solution x of the IVP (2.1), we mean a function x : I1 →R
whose first derivative exists and is absolutely continuouson
I1, satisfying (2.1).
Integrating (2.1), we find that

where the kernel k(t,s)=t-s and
1( , ) ( , ) {( , ):0 }k t s C I wherein t s s t A∈ Ω Ω = ≤ ≤ ≤ .
To prove the main existence result we need the following
preliminaries.
Let C(I1,R) denote the space of continuous real valued
functions on I1, AC(I1,R) the space of all absolutely
continuous functions on I1 , M(I1,R ) the space of all
measurable real valued functions on I1 and B(I1,R), thespace
of all bounded real valued functions on I1 . By BM(I1,R),we
mean the space of bounded and measurable real valued
functions on I1, where I1 is given interval . We define an
order relation ≤ in BM(I1,R) by x,y∈BM(I1,R), then x ≤y if
and only if x(t) ≤y(t) and
1 1
( ) ( )x t y t≤ for all t∈ I1.
A set S in BM(I1, R) is a complete lattice w.r.t ≤ if supremum
and infimum of every sub set of S exists in S.
Definition 2.1 A mapping T: BM(I1,R) → BM(I1,R) is said to
be isotone increasing
if x,y ∈BM(I1,R) with x ≤y implies Tx ≤Ty.
The following fixed point theorem due to Tarski [7] will be
used in proving the existence of extremalsolutionsof second
order initial value problems.
Theorem 2.2 Let E be a nonempty set and let 1T : E →E be a
mapping such that
(i) (E, ≤ ) is a complete lattice
(ii) 1T is isotone increasing and
(iii) F= {u∈E / 1T u=u}.
Then F is non empty ( , )and F ≤ is a complete lattice.
To prove a result on existence define a norm on BM(I1, R) by

Then clearly BM(I1,R) is a Banach space with the above
norm. We shall now prove the existence of maximal and
minimal solutions for the IVP (2.1). For this we need the
following assumptions:
(f1): f is bounded on I1xRxR by k3 , k3 >0.
(f2) : f (t,ϕ (t),ϕ 1(t) ) is Lebesgue measurable for Lebesgue
measurable functions ϕ ,ϕ 1 on I1, and
(f3) : f (t,x,x1) is nondecreasing in both x and x1 in R for a.a.
t∈I1.
Theorem 2.3 Assume that the hypotheses (f1-f3) hold. Then
the IVP (2.1) has maximal and minimal solutions on I1.
Proof . Define a sub set S of the Banach space BM(I1,R) by

Clearly S is closed, convex and boundedsubsetoftheBanach
space BM(I1,R) and hence by definition (S, ≤) is a complete
lattice. We define an operator

Obviously (Tx) and (Tx1) are continuous on I1 and hence
measurable on I1 . We now show that T maps S into itself .Let

This shows that Tmaps S into itself. Let x, y be suchthat x ≤y,

This shows that T is isotone increasing on S.
In view of Theorem 2.2, it follows that the operator equation
Tx = x has solutions and that the set of all solutions is a
complete lattice, implying that the set of all solutionsof (2.1)
is a complete lattice. Consequently theIVP(2.1)hasmaximal
and minimal solutions in S.
Finally in view of the definition of the operator T ,it follows
that these extremal solutions are in C(I1,R) ⊂ AC(I1,R). This
completes the proof.
We shall now show that the maximal and minimal solutions
of the IVP (2.1) serve as the bounds for the solutions of the
differential inequalities related to the IVP (2.1).
Theorem 2.4 Assume that all the conditions of Theorem2.3
are satisfied. Suppose that there exists a function u∈S,
where S is as defined in the proof of Theorem 2.3 satisfying
11 1
( , , )u f t u u≤ a.a. t∈I1 with u(0 ) = a ,
1
(0)u b= . (2.5)
Then there exists a maximal solution Mx of the IVP (2.1)
such that
1( ) ( ) ,Mu t x t t I≤ ∈ .
Proof. Let p = Sup S. Clearly the element p exists, since S is a
complete lattice. Consider the lattice interval [u, p] in S
where u is a solution of (2.5) .We notice that [u, p] is
obviously a complete lattice.
It can be shown as in the proof of Theorem 2.3 that T : [u, p]
→ S is isotone increasing on [u,p] . We show that T maps
[u, p] into itself. For this it suffices toshowthatu ≤Txforany
x∈S with u ≤x. Now from the inequality(2.5),itfollowsthat

This shows that T maps [u, p] into itself. Applying the
Theorem 2.2, we conclude that there is a maximal

solution Mx of the integral equation (2.2) and consequently
of the IVP (2.1) in [u, p].
Therefore
)()( txtu M≤ for t∈I1.
This completes the proof.
Theorem 2.5 Suppose that all theconditionsof Theorem 2.3
hold, and assume that there is a function v∈S, where S is as
defined in the proof of Theorem 2.3, such that
11 1
( , , )v f t v v≥ a.a. t ∈I1 with v (0 ) = a ,
1
(0)v b= .
Then there is a minimal solution xm of the IVP (2.1) such that
xm(t) ≤ v(t) , for t∈I1 .
The proof is similar to that of Theorem 2.4 and we omit the
details We shall now provetheuniquenessof solutionsofthe
IVP (2.1).

for some M>0. Then the IVP (2.1) has unique solution
defined on I1 .
Proof . Let BM(I1, R) denote the space of all bounded and
