On the second-order convergence of a function reconstructed from finite volume approximations of the Laplace equation on Delaunay-Voronoi meshes
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 45 (2011) no. 4, pp. 627-650.

Cell-centered and vertex-centered finite volume schemes for the Laplace equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered on a triangular mesh and on the Voronoi diagram associated to its vertices. A broken P1 function is constructed from the solutions of both schemes. When the domain is two-dimensional polygonal convex, it is shown that this reconstruction converges with second-order accuracy towards the exact solution in the L2 norm, under the sufficient condition that the right-hand side of the Laplace equation belongs to H1(Ω).
