Second-order Chernoff approximation error conjecture
Second-order Chernoff approximation error conjecture
Let be a -semigroup in a Banach space with generator . Let be a Chernoff function for satisfying condition (N) or (N'). Fix , and suppose that, for all , belongs to the domain of . Second-order Chernoff approximation conjecture. Under possibly additional technical assumptions, there exists such that, for all and ,
\left\\|\left(G\left(\frac{t}{n}\right)\right)^n f-e^{tL}f+\frac{t^2}{2n}e^{tL}\left(L^2-G”(0)\right)f\right\\|\leq\frac{C}{n^2}.This is a proposed simplification of a previously cited conjecture concerning higher-order convergence of Chernoff approximations; the phrase “maybe under some other technical assumptions” indicates that the precise hypotheses needed for the estimate are not specified, so its resolution is unclear.
