We present existence and multiplicity principles for second–order discontinuous problems with nonlinear functional conditions. They are based on the method of lower and upper solutions and a recent extension of the Leray–Schauder topological degree to a class of discontinuous operators.

Keywords: Discontinuous differential equations, upper and lower solutions, degree theory.
