ABSTRACT.  This paper is devoted to the approximation by a piecewise linear finite element method of a noncoercive system of elliptic quasi-variational inequalities arising in the management of energy production. A quasi-optimal L¥ error estimate is established, using the concept of subsolution.
Key words:
Quasi-Variational Inequalities, Subsolutions, Finite Elements, L¥-Error Estimate.
