In this paper, the authors establish coincidence results for inclusions \(Lx \in Nx\) under monotonicity conditions on appropriate sequences of solutions. Coincidence results rely on a fixed point result for multivalued maps in ordered topological spaces due to \textit{S. Carl} and \textit{S. Heikkilä} [J.~Math. Anal. Appl. 234, No. 1, 31--54 (1999; Zbl 0936.47042)]. Finally, the results are applied to implicit elliptic equations: \[ Lu = f(x,u,Lu) \text{ in } \Omega, \;u=0 \text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where \(L\) is a second order elliptic operator in divergence form and \(f\) is a positive function satisfying a monotonicity condition with respect to \(u\), and a monotonicity or continuity condition with respect to the third variable. Some growth conditions are also imposed on \(f\).
