    Using the method of upper and lower solutions, the authors investigate the existence of solutions for two types of boundary value problems for a discontinuous nonlinear third-order differential equation, namely \[ u'''(t)=q(u''(t))f(t,u(t)), \text{for a.e. } t\in I=[a,b],\tag{1} \] where \(q:\mathbb{R}\to (0,\infty)\) is bounded and \(f:I\times \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}\) is a Carathéodory function. The existence of a solution to equation (1) with the boundary conditions (2) \(u(a)=A\), \(u(b)=B\), \(u''(a)=C\), where \(A,B,C\) are real constants, is proved by means of fixed point theory. Moreover, the existence of extremal solutions to (1), (2) in a sector is obtained via monotone iterative technique. Then, using the results obtained for (1), (2) and limit arguments, the authors demonstrate the existence of a solution to problem (1) with the boundary conditions \(u(a)=u(b)\), \(u'(a)=u'(b)\), \(u''(a)=C\). Finally, a change of variables allows the authors to consider some different boundary conditions.
