In numerical analysis, the Peano kernel theorem is a general result on error bounds for a wide class of numerical approximations (such as numerical quadratures), defined in terms of linear functionals. It is attributed to Giuseppe Peano.[1]

Statement

[edit]

Let be the space of all functions that are differentiable on that are of bounded variation on , and let be a linear functional on . Assume that that annihilates all polynomials of degree , i.e.Suppose further that for any bivariate function with , the following is valid:and define the Peano kernel of asusing the notationThe Peano kernel theorem[1][2] states that, if , then for every function that is times continuously differentiable, we have

Bounds

[edit]

Several bounds on the value of follow from this result:

where , and are the taxicab, Euclidean and maximum norms respectively.[2]

Application

[edit]

In practice, the main application of the Peano kernel theorem is to bound the error of an approximation that is exact for all . The theorem above follows from the Taylor polynomial for with integral remainder:

defining as the error of the approximation, using the linearity of together with exactness for to annihilate all but the final term on the right-hand side, and using the notation to remove the -dependence from the integral limits.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
