Abstract
We develop the lower and upper solutions method for first order initial val ue problems as well as for first order periodic problems in case the nonlin earity presents singularities. More precisely we prove that if we have a lo wer solution alpha and an upper solution beta of these problems, which are not necessarily continuous nor ordered, we have a solution wedged between m in{alpha, beta} and max{alpha, beta}.
