Abstract
In a recent paper by the same authors, we have thoroughly described ho w to extend to the case of general shells the well known DKT (discrete Kirchhoff triangle) methods which are now classically used to solve p late problems. In that paper we have also detailed how to realize the implementation and reported some numerical results obtained for classi cal benchmarks. The aim of this paper is to prove the convergence of a closely related method and to obtain corresponding error estimates.
