We study the superconvergence of the finite volume method for a nonlinear elliptic problem using linear trial functions. Under the condition of -uniform meshes, we first establish a superclose weak estimate for the bilinear form of the finite volume method. Then, we prove that on the mesh point set , the gradient approximation possesses the superconvergence: , where denotes the average gradient on elements containing vertex . Furthermore, by using the interpolation post-processing...
