Abstract: | Presented in this report are two further applications of very elementary formulae of approximate differentiation. The first is a new derivation in a somewhat sharper form of the following theorem of V. M. Olovyani?nikov: LetNn (n ? 2) be the class of functionsg(x) such thatg(x), g′(x),…, g(n)(x) are ? 0, bounded, and nondecreasing on the half-line ?∞ < x ? 0. A special element ofNnis. Ifg(x) ∈ Nnis such that, thenfor 1 . Moreover, if we have equality in (1) for some value of v, then we have there equality for all v, and this happens only if in (?∞, 0].The second application gives sufficient conditions for the differentiability of asymptotic expansions (Theorem 4). |
