A posteriori error estimates for a mixed-FEM formulation of a nonlinear elliptic problem. (English) Zbl 0996.65114

The authors discuss a numerical solution scheme via a mixed finite element method (FEM) for a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation using Dirichlet boundary conditions. The theoretical foundation is validated by a number of numerical experiments.
