Finite volume methods for convection-diffusion equations with right-hand side in H -1
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique, Volume 36 (2002) no. 4, p. 705-724

We prove the convergence of a finite volume method for a noncoercive linear elliptic problem, with right-hand side in the dual space of the natural energy space of the problem.
