Taylor’s theorem; Henstock-Kurzweil integral; Alexiewicz norm
Summary:
When a real-valued function of one variable is approximated by its $n$th degree Taylor polynomial, the remainder is estimated using the Alexiewicz and Lebesgue $p$-norms in cases where $f^{(n)}$ or $f^{(n+1)}$ are Henstock-Kurzweil integrable. When the only assumption is that $f^{(n)}~$ is Henstock-Kurzweil integrable then a modified form of the $n$th degree Taylor polynomial is used. When the only assumption is that $f^{(n)}\in C^0$ then the remainder is estimated by applying the Alexiewicz norm to Schwartz distributions of order 1.
