Summary. We begin in this paper the study of a general method of approximation of solutions of nonlinear equations in a Banach space. We prove here an abstract result concerning the approximation of branches of nonsingular solutions. The general theory is then applied to the study of the convergence of two mixed finite element methods for the Navier-Stokes and the von K~rm'an equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
