Abstract
- In this paper, we analyze vertex-centered finite volume method (FVM) of any order for elliptic equations on rectangular meshes. The novelty is a unified proof of the inf-sup condition, based on which, we show that the FVM approximation converges to the exact solution with the optimal rate in the energy norm. Furthermore, we discuss superconvergence property of the FVM solution. With the help of this superconvergence result, we find that the FVM solution also converges to the exact solution with the optimal rate in the $L^2$-norm. Finally, we validate our theory with several numerical experiments.<br />Comment: 15 pages
