Abstract
A new mixed scheme which combines the variation of constants and the H 1-Galerkin mixed finite element method is constructed for nonlinear Sobolev equation with nonlinear convection term. Optimal error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. Finally, some numerical results are given to confirm the theoretical analysis of the proposed method.
