Sharp Peano bound for an interior three-point first derivative

ID: sharp-peano-bound-for-an-interior-three-point-first-derivative

For on , quadratic polynomials are annihilated. Taylor's formula with integral remainder gives with . This Peano kernel is nonnegative throughout the interval and integrates to , giving the sharp bound; attains equality. The derivative is at an interior point, so this is distinct from an endpoint differentiation formula.
