[#R216] Recursive midpoint interpolation proves C_8 <= 711/128
claim. The tent function and recursive midpoint interpolation certify \(1/2\le C_8\le711/128\); the exact rational value of \(C_8\) remains open.
1Summary
Let \(\ell_i=((256-i)u_0+iu_{256})/256\). Recursively bisect an interval \([a,b]\) containing \(i\), and write \[ e_{a,b}=u_{(a+b)/2}-\frac{u_a+u_b}{2}. \] If \(i<(a+b)/2\), the coefficient added for \(e_{a,b}\) is \(2(i-a)/(b-a)\); on the right it is \(2(b-i)/(b-a)\). Stop when \(i\) is an endpoint or midpoint. Substitution proves an exact identity \[ u_i-\ell_i=\sum_{a,b}c_{a,b}(i)e_{a,b},\qquad c_{a,b}(i)\geq0. \] The executable rational certificate checks all 257 identities and finds \[ \max_i\sum_{a,b}c_{a,b}(i)=\frac{711}{128}, \] attained at \(i=85,171\). The endpoint chord is an admissible affine approximant, so \[ d(u)\leq\max_i|u_i-\ell_i|\leq\frac{711}{128}\delta(u). \]
