The paper is devoted to the convergence analysis of a well-knowncell-centered Finite Volume Method (FVM) for aconvection-diffusion problem in $\mathbb{R}^2$ . This FVM is based on Voronoi boxes andexponential fitting. To prove the convergence of the FVM, we usea new nonconforming Petrov-Galerkin Finite Element Method (FEM)for which the system of linear equations coincides completely withthat of the FVM. Thus, by proving convergence properties of theFEM we obtain similar ones for the FVM. For the error estimationof the FEM well-known statements have to be modified.

One of the main tools in the proof of residual-based a posteriori error estimates is a quasi-interpolation operator due to Clément. We modify this operator in the setting of a partition of unitywith the effect that the approximation error has a local average zero.This results in a new residual-based a posteriori error estimate with a volume contribution which is smaller than in the standard estimate.For an elliptic model problem, we discuss applications to conforming, nonconforming and mixed finite element methods.
