We examine a finite element approximation of a quasilinear boundary value e
lliptic problem in a three-dimensional bounded convex domain with a smooth
boundary. The domain is approximated by a polyhedron and a numerical integr
ation is taken into account. We apply linear tetrahedral finite elements an
d prove the convergence of approximate solutions on polyhedral hedral domai
ns in the W-2(1)-norm to the true solution without any additional regularit
y assumptions.
