For L(f)=f′(0)+23​f(0)−2f(1)+21​f(2) on C3[0,2], the Peano kernel is
K(t)={t−43​t2,41​(2−t)2,​0≤t≤1,1≤t≤2.​
(1)
The Taylor expansion with integral remainder gives L(f)=∫02​K(t)f(3)(t)dt, because L annihilates polynomials of degree at most two. Since K≥0 and ∫02​K=1/3, the sharp bound is ∣L(f)∣≤31​∥f(3)∥∞​. Equality holds for f(x)=x3/6.
