| contents | We generalize the Brezzi-Rappaz-Raviart approximation theorem, which allows to obtain existence and a priori error estimates for approximations of solutions to some nonlinear partial differential equations. Our contribution lies in the fact that we typically allow for nonlinearities having merely Lipschitz regularity, while previous results required some form of differentiability. This is achieved by making use of the theory of metrically regular mappings, developed in the context of variational analysis. We apply this generalization to derive quasi-optimal error estimates for finite element approximations to solutions of viscous Hamilton-Jacobi equations and second order mean field game systems. |
