SOME OSTROWSKI TYPE INEQUALITIES FOR π-ΤΙΜΕ DIFFERENTIABLE MAPPINGS AND APPLICATIONS (Q4947109)

Some generalizations of the Ostrowski inequality for \(n\)-times differentiable mappings are given. The starting point is the following lemma: Let \( f:[a,b]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be a mapping such that \(f^{(n-1)}\) is absolutely continuous on \([a,b]\) for some \(n\geq 1.\) Then for all \(x\in [a,b]\) we have the identity: \[ \int_{a}^{b}f(t)dt=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\left[ \frac{(b-a)^{k+1}+(x-a)^{k+1}}{ (k+1)!}\right] f^{(k)}(x)+ (-1)^{n}\int_{a}^{b}K_{n}(x,t)f^{(n)}(t) dt, \] where \[ K_{n}(x,t)=\left\{ \frac{(t-a)^{n}}{n!}\quad \text{if }t\in [a,x] \frac{(t-b)^{n}}{n!}\quad \text{if }t\in [x,b] \right\}. \] Applications in numerical integration are also presented.
