Mortar finite volume element method with Crouzeix-Raviart element for parabolic problems (Q952809)

\textit{P. Chatzipantelidis} [Numer. Math. 82, No.3, 409-432 (1999; Zbl 0942.65131)] has analyzed the finite volume element method based on the Crouzeix-Raviart element [cf. \textit{M. Crouzeix} and \textit{P. A. Raviart}, Rev. Franc. Automat. Inform. Rech. Operat. 7(1973), R-3, 33--76 (1974; Zbl 0302.65087)] and established the optimal order error estimates in \(L^2\)- and mesh dependent \(H^1\)- norms. The authors consider here the mortar finite volume element method with the Crouzeix-Raviart element for parabolic problems and obtain optimal order error estimates in the \(H^1\)- and \(L^2\)- norms. Numerical experiments conforming the theoretical results are also provided.
