Starting from the Taylor formula for f(x)∈Ck+1[a,b] with an integral remainder term, show that the error of an approximant L(f) can be written in the form (Peano kernel theorem)
L(f)=k!1∫abK(θ)f(k+1)(θ)dθ,
when L(f), which is identically zero if f(x) is a polynomial of degree k, satisfies conditions that you should specify. Give an expression for K(θ).
Hence determine the minimum value of c in the inequality
∣L(f)∣≤c∥f′′′∥∞
when
L(f)=f′(1)−21(f(2)−f(0)) for f(x)∈C3[0,2]
