We consider a nonlinear second-order elliptic boundary value problem in a bounded domain Ω ⊂ RN with mixed boundary conditions. The solution is found via linearisation. We design a robust and efficient approximation scheme. Error estimates for the linearisation algorithm are derived in L2(Ω), H1(Ω) and L∞(Ω) spaces under the minimal regularity assumptions of the exact solution.
