Abstract

This paper is concerned with the standard finite element approximation of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equations (HJB) with nonlinear source terms. Under a realistic condition on the nonlinearity, we characterize the discrete solution as a fixed point of a contraction. As a result of this, we also derive a sharp L∞- error estimate of the approximation.
