“…(In the previous papers only strict monotonicity was established.) However, in contrast to standard nonlinear situations treated, e.g., in [2], [11], [12], [18], [28], where strong monotonicity was used, here we do not get an optimal O(h) error estimate for linear finite elements. The order of convergence is reduced due to the fact that only uniform monotonicity with growth of degree t 2+α , α > 0, holds now, and due to the nonlinearity in the boundary integrals.…”
