contents We study an iterative Galerkin method for quasilinear elliptic problems in the Browder-Minty setting. The resulting discrete nonlinear systems are solved by linearization via a (damped) Zarantonello iteration. Unlike prior work, adaptive mesh refinement is driven by an elliptic reconstruction error estimator, which is natural in the sense that the a posteriori bounds for the linearization and discretization errors are well separated. For this setting, we present the first comprehensive convergence analysis of the corresponding algorithm. We prove unconditional full R-linear convergence of a suitable quasi-error that combines linearization and discretization errors. For sufficiently small adaptivity parameters, we further establish optimal convergence rates with respect to the number of degrees of freedom and quasi-optimal complexity, i.e., optimal convergence rates with respect to the overall computational cost. Numerical experiments underpin the theoretical findings.
