contents A DualTPD method is proposed for solving nonlinear partial differential equations. The method is characterized by three main features. First, decoupling via Fenchel--Rockafellar duality is achieved, so that nonlinear terms are discretized by discontinuous finite element spaces, yielding block-diagonal mass matrices and closed-form updates. Second, improved convergence is obtained by applying transformed primal--dual (TPD) dynamics to the nonlinear saddle-point system, which yields strongly monotone behavior. Third, efficient preconditioners are designed for the elliptic-type Schur complement arising from the separated differential operators, and multigrid solvers are applied effectively. Extensive numerical experiments on elliptic $p$-Laplacian and nonlinear $H(\curl)$ problems are presented, showing significant efficiency gains with global, mesh-independent convergence.
