Let $f(t)$ be a function with properties:
$$beginarrayll
tinmathbfR&ttext is in reals\
f(t)inmathbfRtext for all t&f(t)text is in reals\
|f(t)|<Atext for all t&textabsolute value of f(t)text is bounded above by A\
int_-infty^infty f(t) e^- i omega t rm dt = 0text for all |omega|ge B&f(t)text is band-limited by frequency B in radians
endarray$$
Given $A$ and $B,$ what is the tight upper bound for $|f'(t)|,$ the absolute value of the derivative of the function?
Nothing else shall be assumed about $f(t)$ than what has been stated above. The bound should accommodate for this uncertainty.
For a sinusoid of amplitude $A$ and frequency $B,$ the maximum absolute value of the derivative is $AB.$ I wonder if this is an upper bound, and in that case also the tight upper bound. Or maybe a non-sinusoidal function has a steeper slope.

@Tendero thanks. There, the signal energy is known, rather than the peak absolute value as in my question.

See my answer for the bound you seek. It says More generally, a result due to Bernstein says that if the maximum frequency in a generic $x(t)$ bounded within $[-1,1]$ is $f_0$, that is, $X(f) = 0$ for $|f| > f_0$, then $$max left| fracmathrm dxmathrm dtright| leq 2pi f_0.$$

Based on the sharp version of Bernstein's inequality, from Dilip's linked answers, MBaz's edited answer and the literature cited, $AB$ is indeed the sharp (I called it tight meaning the same) upper bound for the maximum absolute value of the derivative, a full-scale sinusoid at exactly the band limit (not strictly allowed by the constraints I give) making the inequality an equality.

You'll be interested in Bernstein's inequality, which I first learned about in Lapidoth, A Foundation in Digital Communication (page 92).
With a well-behaved signal $f(t)$ as you defined it above (in particular, $f(t)$ is integrable and bandlimited to $B,textHz$, and $textsup,|f(t)| = A$), then $$left|fractextdf(t)textdtright| leq 2ABpi.
$$
Note that the original result by Bernstein established a bound of $4ABpi$; later, that bound was tightened to $2ABpi$.

@OlliNiemitalo As pointed out in MattL's answer, the sinusoid $sin(2pi Bt)$ has maximum derivative $2pi B$. This meets Bernstein's bound, as stated in my answer here on dsp.SE (cited in a comment on your question) and in my answer on math.SE that you found, with equality.

@OlliNiemitalo I found the proof given by Pinksy here (I hope that link works!). He definitely uses $4ABpi$ as the bound, not $2ABpi$.

@MBaz Your link works indeed! At the end of the section 2.3.8 they say that the best known version of Bernstein's inequality has the factor 2 instead of 4, which is sharp, and that for details consult Zygmund (1959) Vol. 2, p. 276. I think that's Zygmund, A. Trigonometric series. 2nd ed. Vol. II. Cambridge University Press, New York 1959.

RP Boas, Some theorems on Fourier transforms and conjugate trigonometric integrals, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 40 (2), 287-308, 1936 cites the relevant articles by Bernstein, Szegö, and Zygmund, already with the sharp bound, as far as I can tell.

In general you would get something like this, but it might not be tight:
$$beginalign|f'(t)|&=left|frac12piint_-infty^inftyjomega F(jomega)e^-jomega tdomegaright|\&le frac12piint_-infty^infty|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&=frac12piint_-omega_c^omega_c|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&le fracomega_c2piint_-omega_c^omega_c|F(jomega)|domega\&=fracomega_cpiint_0^omega_c|F(jomega)|domegatag1endalign$$
The upper bound on $|f(t)|$ is of course implicit in $|F(jomega)|$.
For a sinusoid $Asin(omega_ct)$, $(1)$ gives $Aomega_c$ as an upper bound, as expected.
@Olli Niemitalo , I had derived the sinusoid case I think this is the general case we were looking at. Thanks Matt L.

In general you would get something like this, but it might not be tight:
$$beginalign|f'(t)|&=left|frac12piint_-infty^inftyjomega F(jomega)e^-jomega tdomegaright|\&le frac12piint_-infty^infty|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&=frac12piint_-omega_c^omega_c|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&le fracomega_c2piint_-omega_c^omega_c|F(jomega)|domega\&=fracomega_cpiint_0^omega_c|F(jomega)|domegatag1endalign$$
The upper bound on $|f(t)|$ is of course implicit in $|F(jomega)|$.
For a sinusoid $Asin(omega_ct)$, $(1)$ gives $Aomega_c$ as an upper bound, as expected.

In general you would get something like this, but it might not be tight:
$$beginalign|f'(t)|&=left|frac12piint_-infty^inftyjomega F(jomega)e^-jomega tdomegaright|\&le frac12piint_-infty^infty|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&=frac12piint_-omega_c^omega_c|omega||F(jomega)|domega\&le fracomega_c2piint_-omega_c^omega_c|F(jomega)|domega\&=fracomega_cpiint_0^omega_c|F(jomega)|domegatag1endalign$$
The upper bound on $|f(t)|$ is of course implicit in $|F(jomega)|$.
For a sinusoid $Asin(omega_ct)$, $(1)$ gives $Aomega_c$ as an upper bound, as expected.

@Olli Niemitalo , I had derived the sinusoid case I think this is the general case we were looking at. Thanks Matt L.

Have you checked this?

@Tendero thanks. There, the signal energy is known, rather than the peak absolute value as in my question.

See my answer for the bound you seek. It says More generally, a result due to Bernstein says that if the maximum frequency in a generic $x(t)$ bounded within $[-1,1]$ is $f_0$, that is, $X(f) = 0$ for $|f| > f_0$, then $$max left| fracmathrm dxmathrm dtright| leq 2pi f_0.$$

Based on the sharp version of Bernstein's inequality, from Dilip's linked answers, MBaz's edited answer and the literature cited, $AB$ is indeed the sharp (I called it tight meaning the same) upper bound for the maximum absolute value of the derivative, a full-scale sinusoid at exactly the band limit (not strictly allowed by the constraints I give) making the inequality an equality.
