Bounds for the third Peano constants of Gaussian quadrature formulae (Q1307409)

The author calculates asymptotically best possible bounds for the third Peano constants. \[ c_s(Q_n)=\sup_{\| f^{(s)}\| _\infty \leq 1} | R_n[f]| \] \[ \begin{aligned} | R^G_n[f]| & \leq \frac 1{N^3}\cdot \left(\frac{\pi^4}{512}-\frac{1.45}{\sqrt N} \right)\| f'''\| _\infty \\ | R^G_n[f]| & \leq \frac 1 {N^3} \cdot \left(\frac{\pi^3}{72\sqrt 3}- \frac 2{3\sqrt N}\right) \text{Var} f'' \end{aligned} \] where \(R^G_n[f]\) denotes the remainder functional of the Gaussian quadrature formula involving \(n\) nodes and \(Q_n\) denotes a quadrature formula on \([-1,1]\). The paper is continuing a previous work on the second Peano constants. The third Peano constants can be useful for practical error estimation and also permits a comparison of the quality of quadrature formulae.
