We are concerned with extremal solutions for the mixed boundary value problem $$-(r^{N-1}\phi(u'))'=r^{N-1}g(r,u), \quad\quad u'(0)=0=u(R),$$ where $g : [0,R]\times\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function and $\phi:(-\eta,\eta)\to\mathbb{R}$\ is an increasing homeomorphism with $\phi(0)=0.$ We prove the existence of minimal and maximal solutions in presence of well-ordered lower and upper solutions and we develop a numerical algorithm for theirs approximation. The talk is based on joint work with Petru Jebelean and Constantin Popa.
