This is a second-order Taylor remainder estimate for a twice differentiable function on ℝ. Let f, f′, f″ : ℝ → ℝ and M : ℝ satisfy M ≥ 0. Assume f′ is the derivative of f everywhere and f″ is the derivative of f′ everywhere. For x, y : ℝ, assume that every w in the interval between x and y satisfies |f″(w) − f″(x)| ≤ M. Then, with abs_sub_taylor_two_le_modulus_readable, the Taylor remainder obeys

∣f(y)−f(x)−f′(x)(y−x)−12f′′(x)(y−x)2∣≤M∣y−x∣2.|f(y)-f(x)-f'(x)(y-x)-\tfrac12 f''(x)(y-x)^2|\le M|y-x|^2.∣f(y)−f(x)−f′(x)(y−x)−21​f′′(x)(y−x)2∣≤M∣y−x∣2.

This is the one-dimensional form of the oscillation-controlled Taylor estimate and can be reused when only a bound on the second derivative’s oscillation along the relevant segment is available.
