Abstract: We design an adaptive finite element method to approximate the solutions of quasi-linear elliptic problems. The algorithm is based on a Kav{c}anov iteration and a mesh adaptation step is performed after each linear solve. The method is thus emph{inexact} because we do not solve the discrete nonlinear problems exactly, but rather perform one iteration of a fixed point method (Kav{c}anov), using the approximation of the previous mesh as an initial guess. The convergence of the method is proved for any emph{reasonable} marking strategy and starting from any initial mesh. We conclude with some numerical experiments that illustrate the theory.
