A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is examined. The problem describes for instance a stationary heat conduction in nonlinear inhomogeneous and anisotropic media. For finite elements of degree we prove the optimal rates of convergence in the -norm and in the -norm provided the true solution is sufficiently smooth. Considerations are restricted to domains with polyhedral boundaries. Numerical integration is not taken...
