Abstract
The effect of numerical integration in finite element methods applied to a class of non-linear parabolic equations is considered and some sufficient conditions on the quadrature scheme to ensure that the order of convergence is unaltered in the presence of numerical integration are given. Optimal L2 and H1 estimates for the error and its time derivative are established.
