The article is devoted to the study of convergence properties of a Finite Volume Method (FVM) using Voronoi boxes for discretization. The approach is based on the construction of a new nonconforming Finite Element Method (FEM), such that the system of linear equations coincides completely with that

β¦ Synopsis
A new quadratic nonconforming finite element on rectangles (or parallelograms) is introduced. The nonconforming element consists of P 2 β Span{x 2 y, xy 2 } on a rectangle and eight degrees of freedom. Our element is essentially of seven degrees of freedom since the degree of freedom associated with the integration on rectangle is essentially of bubble-function nature. Global basis functions are constructed for both Dirichlet and Neumann type of problems; accordingly the corresponding dimensions are counted. The local and global interpolation operators are defined. Error estimates of optimal order are derived in both broken energy and L 2 ( ) norms for second-order of elliptic problems. Brief numerical results are also shown to confirm the optimality of the presented quadratic nonconforming element.

In a recent work, Hiptmair [Mathematisches Institut, M9404, 1994] has constructed and analyzed a family of nonconforming mixed finite elements for second-order elliptic problems. However, his analysis does not work on the lowest order elements. In this article, we show that it is possible to constru
