      This paper gives an unified approach for the analysis of various finite volume or covolume schemes used to solve second-order elliptic problems in mixed form. All these schemes are related to a standard mixed method as the one analyzed by \textit{P. A. Raviart} and \textit{J. M. Thomas} [cf. e.g. Lect. Notes Math. 606, 292-315 (1977; Zbl 0362.65089)]. The problems are clearly formulated, the analysis of their approximation by different covolume methods is carefully done and leads to a priori error estimates in the approximate spaces. Some numerical experiments prove the pertinence of the study. This is a nice paper which should be considered by researchers in computational fluid mechanics.
