We present the numerical analysis on the Poisson problem
of two mixed Petrov-Galerkin
finite volume schemes for equations in divergence form
$\mathop{\rm div}\nolimits\varphi(u,\nabla u)=f$
. The first scheme, which has been
introduced in [CITE], is a generalization in two dimensions
of Keller's box-scheme. The second scheme is the dual of the first
one, and is a cell-centered
scheme for u and the flux φ. For the first scheme, the two trial
finite element spaces are
the nonconforming space of Crouzeix-Raviart
for the primal unknown u and the div-conforming
space of Raviart-Thomas for the flux φ. The two test spaces are
the functions constant per cell both for the conservative and for the flux
equations.
We prove an optimal second order error estimate for
the box scheme and
we emphasize the link between this
scheme and the post-processing of Arnold
and Brezzi of the classical mixed method.
