The variance of the first-passage percolation is bounded by the L2-norms of the derivatives with respect to the environment. In this paper we prove that the environment derivatives of orders k∈\2,3,4\ are bounded below by -\binomk-2\lceil\frack-22\rceil and above by \binomk-2\lceil\frack-22\rceil. We believe that these are the bounds for all k. We provide examples of environments that show that these extreme values can be attained.
