%0 Journal Article %T Sub-supersolution theorems for quasilinear elliptic problems: A variational approach %A Vy Khoi Le %A Klaus Schmitt %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2004 %I Texas State University %X This paper presents a variational approach to obtain sub - supersolution theorems for a certain type of boundary value problem for a class of quasilinear elliptic partial differential equations. In the case of semilinear ordinary differential equations results of this type were first proved by Hans Knobloch in the early sixties using methods developed by Cesari. %K Sub and supersolutions %K periodic solutions %K variational approach. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2004/118/abstr.html
