✦ Synopsis

The coupling of the Sobolev space gradient method and the finite element method is developed. The Sobolev space gradient method reduces the solution of a quasilinear elliptic problem to a sequence of linear Poisson equations. These equations can be solved numerically by an appropriate finite element method. This coupling of the two methods will be called the gradient-finite element method (GFEM). Linear convergence of the GFEM is proved via suitable error control in the steps of the iteration. The GFEM defines an already preconditioned iteration in the sense that the theoretical ratio of convergence of the Sobolev space GM is preserved. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the method.

## Abstract A new finite element method is proposed and analysed for second order elliptic equations using discontinuous piecewise polynomials on a finite element partition consisting of general polygons. The new method is based on a stabilization of the well‐known primal hybrid formulation by usin
