Extract

f(x), f′(x),…, f(n+1)(x) are one-valued, finite and continuous (v≤x≤w).

Define

page 70 note † A sufficient Gegenbeispiel for the hypothesis that v≤xp≤w, p=1, 2, …, n, is provided by: u (x) = 1/(1·01–x), n = 2, v = 0, w = 1. The solution is m 1 = ·793, m 2 = ·693 giving x 1 = 1·046, x 2 = ·541. In any such case it is necessary to extend the bounded interval for which f (x) is one-valued, finite and continuous to include all values of xp .
