This Note proves the convergence of the finite volume MultiPoint Flux Approximation (MPFA) O scheme for anisotropic and heterogeneous diffusion problems. Its main originality is that our framework and proof deal with general polygonal and polyhedral meshes as well as with L∞ diffusion coefficients, which is essential in practical applications.

Cette Note démontre la convergence du schéma volume fini de type « O » pour les problèmes de diffusion en milieu hétérogène anisotrope. Sa principale originalité est de traiter des maillages polygonaux et polyédriques généraux ainsi que des coefficients de diffusion L∞, ce qui est essentiel dans les applications.
