Weak Galerkin finite element method for a class of quasilinear elliptic problems

The purpose of this paper is to study the weak Galerkin finite element method for a class of quasilinear elliptic problems. The weak Galerkin finite element scheme is proved to have a unique solution with the assumption that guarantees the corresponding operator to be strongly monotone and Lipschitz-continuous. An optimal error estimate in a mesh-dependent energy norm is established. Some numerical results are presented to confirm the theoretical analysis.
