A Relaxed Kav{c}anov Iteration for the p-Poisson Problem

In this paper we introduce and analyze an iteratively re-weighted algorithm, that allows to approximate the weak solution of the $p$-Poisson problem for $1 < p \leq 2$ by iteratively solving a sequence of linear elliptic problems. The algorithm can be interpreted as a relaxed Ka{\v c}anov iteration, as so-called in the specific literature of the numerical solution of quasi-linear equations. The main contribution of the paper is proving that the algorithm converges at least with an algebraic rate.
