Bounding at Newton Divided Difference Formula












1












$begingroup$


Let $a=x_0,x_1,...,x_n=b$ are $n+1$ points which are equally spaced in $[a,b]$. The distance between consecutive terms is $h= frac{b-a}{n}$ and $x in [a,b]$



Show that $ biggr|prod_{i=}^n (x-x_i) biggr| leq frac{h^{n+1}.n!}{4} $



I have written



$ biggr|prod_{i=}^n (x-x_i) biggr| = biggr| (x-x_0)(x-x_0-h)(x-x_0-2h)...(x-x_0-nh) biggr|$



I know it is so easy but I couldn’t see in no way. I think I have written something unnecessary. Thanks for any help..

Argue that the maximal error occurs in the boundary intervals. Set $x=sh$. Then
$$prod_{k=0}^n|x-x_k|=h^{n+1}|s(1-s)|cdot|2-s|cdots|n-s|$$
and the bound should be obvious.



More generally, for $x=mh+s$, $m=0,...,n$, you get
$$h^{n+1}|m+1-(1-s)|⋯|2-(1-s)|⋅|s(1-s)|⋅|1-s|⋯|n-m-s|le frac14h^{n+1}(m+1)!(n-m)!$$





Take the next term into the maximum calculation, thus maximizing $s(1-s)(2-s)$ and find the maximum for $sin [0,frac32]$ at the interval ends or the root of
$$
0=3s^2-6s+2iff s=1-frac1{sqrt3}
$$

so that the bound can be decreased to
$$
h^{n+1}frac{n!}{3sqrt3}.
$$
