## Abstract We consider the mixed covolume method combining with the expanded mixed element for a system of firstβorder partial differential equations resulting from the mixed formulation of a general selfβadjoint elliptic problem with a full diffusion tensor. The system can be used to model the tr

Abstract
In this paper, we attempt to give analysis of the covolume method for solving general selfβadjoint elliptic problems. We first present some useful superconvergence results for the deviation between the solution of the covolume method and the solution of the induced finite element method, in the energy norm and maximum norm, respectively. With these results, we then reproduce the maximum norm estimates obtained by Chou and Li for the covolume method easily. Furthermore, based on the covolume method, we propose a highβaccuracy algorithm for solving general selfβadjoint elliptic problems. Compared with the original covolume method, the computation work of the new algorithm is increased slightly, but the approximate error is improved remarkably.
