A finite volume scheme based on minimization of a certain cell functional is constructed for unstructured polygonal meshes. This new scheme has a local stencil, allows arbitrary diffusion tensors, leads to a symmetric positive definite diffusion matrix in case that edge unknowns are defined at the midpoints of edges, and is linearity-preserving, i.e., preserves linear solutions. Under a very weak geometry condition, the stability result and discrete H1 error estimate of the scheme is obtained through a discrete functional approach. Finally, numerical results on various mesh types (including a particular jigsaw puzzle mesh) demonstrate the good performance of the scheme and validate the theoretical analysis.
