We use an intermediate value theorem for quasi-monotone increasing functions to prove the existence of the smallest and the greatest solution of the Dirichlet problem u″ + f(t, u) = 0, u(0) = α, u(1) = β between lower and upper solutions, where f:[0,1] × E → E is quasi-monotone increasing in its second variable with respect to a regular cone.
