The main goal of this paper is to establish the convergence of mimetic discretizations of the first-order system that describes linear diffusion. S pecifically, mimetic discretiza- tions based on the support-operators methodology (SO) have been applied successfully in a number of application areas, including diffusion and elect romagnetics. These discretizations have demonstrated excellent robustness, however, a rigorous convergence proof has been lacking. In this research, we prove convergence of the SO discretization for linear diffusion by first developing a connection of this mimetic discretizat ion with Mixed Finite Element (MFE) methods. This connection facilitates the application of existing tools and error esti- mates from the finite element literature to establish conver gence for the SO discretization. The convergence properties of the SO discretization are ver ified with numerical examples. |
