Summary:Abstract: "In a variational framework general finite volume (box) schemes are defined and studied for discretizing interior and boundary obstacle problems with mixed boundary conditions in two and three space dimensions. Convergence to first and second order is proved between the box and finite element solutions depending on the choice of the boxes. Both for second order equations and obstacle problems the convergence rate between the solutions of the box schemes and the continuous problems is derived. Two penalization methods are proposed and analyzed for solving the finite volume obstacle problems. In particlar, the coupling of discretization and penalty parameters is discussed. Fianlly, numerical results are presented to illustrate the convergence behaviour between the exact, the Glaerkin and the box method solution."
