We study the numerical approximation of fractional powers of accretive operators in this paper. Namely, if $A$ is the accretive operator associated with an accretive sesquilinear form $A(\cdot,\cdot)$ defined on a Hilbert space $\mathbb V$ contained in $L^2(\Omega)$, we approximate $A^{-\beta}$ for $\beta\in (0,1)$. The fractional powers are defined in terms of the so-called Balakrishnan integral formula. Given a finite element approximation space $\mathbb V_h\subset \mathbb V$, $A^{-\beta}$ is approximated by $A_h^{-\beta}\pi_h$ where $A_h$ is the operator associated with the form $A(\cdot,\cdot)$ restricted to $\mathbb V_h$ and $\pi_h$ is the $L^2(\Omega)$-projection onto $\mathbb V_h$. We first provide error estimates for $(A^\beta-A_h^{\beta}\pi_h)f$ in Sobolev norms with index in [0,1] for appropriate $f$. These results depend on elliptic regularity properties of variational solutions involving the form $A(\cdot,\cdot)$ and are valid for the case of less than full elliptic regularity. We also construct and analyze an exponentially convergent sinc quadrature approximation to the Balakrishnan integral defining $A_h^{\beta}\pi_h f$. Finally, the results of numerical computations illustrating the proposed method are given.
