Abstract

Mixed finite element method is developed to approxi-mate the solution of the initial-boundary value problem for a strongly nonlinear second-order hyperbolic equation in divergence form. Exis-tence and uniqueness of the approximation are proved and optimal-order $L\infty$-in-time $L^2$-in-space a priori error estimates are derived for both the scalar and vector functions approximated by the method.
