Abstract:
When working out the errors in discretization formulas, one usually hopes to obtain a mean value type of error. This occurs if the associated Peano kernel is a function which does not change sign. In this paper an expansion is developed which will express any error in mean value form, even when the associated Peano kernel is a function which changes sign.References
