Assuming the existence of an upper solution $¥varphi$ and a lower solution $¥psi$ satisfying $¥psi¥leq¥varphi$ , we show that the problem has extrenal periodic solutions in the order interval $K=[¥psi)¥varphi]$ . Our proof is based on a general surjectivity result for the sum of two operators of monotone type and on truncation and penalization techniques. In addition we use a result of independent interest which we prove here and which says that the pseudomonotonicity property of $A(t, ¥cdot)$ can be lifted to its Nemitsky operator. Finally when we impose stronger conditions on the data, we show that the extrenal solutions can be obtained with a monotone iterative process.}, pages = {39--60}, title = {ON THE EXISTENCE OF EXTRENAL PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR PARABOLIC PROBLEMS WITH DISCONTINUITIES}, volume = {45}, year = {1998} }
