In this paper, we attempt to give analysis of the covolume method for solving general self-adjoint 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 high-accuracy algorithm for solving general self-adjoint 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. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
