Abstract:
We provide a general abstract theory for the solvability andGalerkin approximation of nonlinear twofold saddle point problems.In particular, a Strang error estimate containing the consistencyterms arising from the approximation of the continuous operatorsinvolved is deduced. Then we apply these results to analysea fully discrete Galerkin scheme for a twofold saddle pointformulation of a nonlinear elliptic boundary value problem indivergence form. Some numerical results are also presented.
