Abstract: In this paper we prove the convergence of a Crank-Nicolson type Galerkin finite element scheme for the initial value problem associated to the Benjamin-Ono equation. The proof is based on a recent result for a similar discrete scheme for the Korteweg-de Vries equation and utilizes a local smoothing effect to bound the H1/2-norm of the approximations locally. This enables us to show that the scheme converges strongly in L2(0,T;Lextloc2(mathbbR)) to a weak solution of the equation for initial data in L2(mathbbR) and some T>0. Finally we illustrate the method with some numerical examples.
