Error Estimates for a Finite Volume Element Method for Elliptic PDEs in Nonconvex Polygonal Domains

Standard finite volume piecewise linear approximations for second order elliptic boundary value problems on a nonconvex polygonal domain are considered, based on sharp shift estimates, and error estimations in H1-, L2- and L-norms are derived, taking into consideration the regularity of the data.

TLDR
It is shown that certain commonly used difference schemes yield second-order accurate solutions despite the fact that their truncation error is of lower order, which illuminates a limitation of the standard stability, consistency proof of convergence for difference schemes defined on nonuniform meshes.
