We prove new pointwise estimates for the time‐continuous finite element discretization of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The analysis relies on the energy method. A superconvergent estimate of the error gradient is derived and we obtain L ∞ estimates via inverse inequalities. We emphasize the case of radial symmetry where the results improve on previously published L 2 estimates by allowing greater flexibility in the choice of spatial grid. Some numerical results are presented, which confirm our theoretical findings. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
