Starting from results of Dubé and Mingarelli, Wahlén, and Ehrström, who give conditions that ensure the existence and uniqueness of nonnegative nondecreasing solutions asymptotically constant of the equationwe have been able to reduce their hypotheses in order to obtain the same existence results, at the expense of losing the uniqueness part. The main tool they used is the Banach Fixed Point Theorem, while ours has been the Schauder Fixed Point Theorem together with one version of the Arzelà-Ascoli Theorem.
