Review text

Wenn in der bekannten Entwickelung des Integrals \[ J = \int_{a}^{b} \frac{f(z)}{x - z}\;dz \] der \(n^{\text{te}}\) Näherungsbruch durch \(P_{n} : Q_{n}\) bezeichnet und \[ J = \frac{P_n}{Q_n} + R_{n} \] gesetzt wird, so ist \(R_{n}\) das Minimum der quadratischen Form \[ \varphi(x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n)= \int_{a}^{b}\;\frac{f(z)}{x - z} \cdot [1 + x_1 (x - z) + x_2 (x - z)^{2} + \cdots + x_{n} (x - z)^{n}]^{2} dz. \]
