Starting from Taylor's theorem with integral form of the remainder, prove the Peano kernel theorem: the error of an approximant L(f) applied to f(x)∈Ck+1[a,b] can be written in the form
L(f)=k!1∫abK(θ)f(k+1)(θ)dθ
You should specify the form of K(θ). Here it is assumed that L(f) is identically zero when f(x) is a polynomial of degree k. State any other necessary conditions.
Setting a=0 and b=2, find K(θ) and show that it is negative for 0<θ<2 when
L(f)=∫02f(x)dx−31(f(0)+4f(1)+f(2)) for f(x)∈C4[0,2].
Hence determine the minimum value of ρ for which
∣L(f)∣⩽ρ∥∥∥∥f(4)∥∥∥∥∞
holds for all f(x)∈C4[0,2].
