Mimetic finite differences for elliptic problems
ESAIM: Modélisation mathématique et analyse numérique, Tome 43 (2009) no. 2, pp. 277-295.

We developed a mimetic finite difference method for solving elliptic equations with tensor coefficients on polyhedral meshes. The first-order convergence estimates in a mesh-dependent H 1 norm are derived.
