SUMMARY

The series expansion presented in the discussion is defined as $$f(x) = 1/h\int_x^{x+h}f(t)dt + A_{1}Δf(x) + A_{2}hΔf'(x) +...+ A_{m-1}h^{m-2}Δf^{(m-2)}(x) +r$$, where $$A_{m}$$ are constants and $$Δ = [x, x+h]$$. This expansion is derived using Taylor's formula and serves as a foundational element in the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding this derivation for applications in numerical analysis and approximation methods.

Hi,

Could someone please identify the following series expansion for me, if possible:

$$f(x) = 1/h\int_x^{x+h}f(t)dt + A_{1}Δf(x) + A_{2}hΔf'(x) +...+ A_{m-1}h^{m-2}Δf^{(m-2)}(x) +r$$

where $$A_{m}$$ are, as far as I know, plain constants and $$Δ = [x, x+h]$$.

I think this result was partially obtained through using the Taylor's formula. It is a result that is used as a basis when constructing the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula.

I'd like to know how exactly this result follows. Thank you in advance.
