f′(0)≈a0f(0)+a1f(1)+a2f(2)=:λ(f)
be a formula of numerical differentiation which is exact on polynomials of degree 2 , and let
e(f)=f′(0)−λ(f)
be its error.
Find the values of the coefficients a0,a1,a2.
Using the Peano kernel theorem, find the least constant c such that, for all functions f∈C3[0,2], we have
∣e(f)∣⩽c∥f′′′∥∞.
