Numerical methods quadratic interpolation errors

$begingroup$



Show that the truncation error of quadratic interpolation in an equidistant table is bounded by $$frac{h^3}{9cdot3^{0.5}}max f''' (x)$$




I have gotten to nothing because i don't seem to understand quadratic interpolation errors unlike linear interpolation errors.

    Write down the interpolation formula and apply Taylor's theorem.

The interpolation error for the quadratic polynomial interpolating at the points $x_{k-1},x_k,x_{k+1}$ and their tabulated values is bounded by
$$
|(x-x_{k-1})(x-x_k)(x-x_{k+1})|frac{1}6max_{zin[x_{k-1},x_{k+1}]}|f'''(z)|
$$

If $x$ is parametrized as $x_k+sh$ with $sin[-frac12,frac12]$, then this bound becomes
$$
|s-s^3|frac{h^3}6max_{zin[x_{k-1},x_{k+1}]}|f'''(z)|
$$

The local maxima of the first factor in $[-1,1]$ are located at $s=pmfrac1{sqrt3}$, which should result in your bound.



But these $s$ are outside the interval $[-frac12,frac12]$. To get an approximate value for the point $x_k+frac1{sqrt3}h$ from the table, one would use the interpolation polynomial based on the triple centered at $x_{k+1}$. Thus the maximum error for the more realistic procedure is at $s=pmfrac12$.
