New estimation of the remainder in Taylor's formula using Grüss' type inequalities and applications (Q4248973)

By applying the classical Grüss inequality for integrals, the author obtains various estimates for the remainder term \(G_n(f;a,x)\) of a Taylor expansion \[ f(x)= T_n(f; a,x)+ {(x- a)^{n+1}\over (n+1)!} [f^{(n)}; a,x]+ G_n(f; a,x), \] where \(T_n\) is the Taylor polynomial of order \(n\) and \([f^{(n)}; a,x]=(f^{(n)}(x)- f^{(n)}(a))/(x- a)\). We quote here only the inequality \[ |G_n(f; a,x)|\leq {1\over 4}{(x- a)^{n+1}\over n!} [\sup f^{(n+ 1)}(t)- \inf f^{(n+1)}(t)],\quad t\in[a,x]. \] Applications for the exponential and logarithmic functions are also considered.
