Already quite long ago [\textit{C. de Boor}, Theory Approx., Proc. Conf. Calgary 1975, 120-145 (1976; Zbl 0346.41007)] it was known that tensor product B-spline bases in \(\mathbb{R}^d\) are uniformly stable. This stability, however, is lost when approximating functions on a domain which intersects the support of the splines only partially. Although this problem has been known for some time (explicitly mentioned in \textit{W. Dahmen, R. DeVore, K. Scherer} [SIAM J. Numer. Analy. 17 (3), 389--402 (1980; Zbl 0437.41010)], it has not been addressed thereafter. In the paper under review a ``skip-and-scale'' strategy is proposed to form uniformly stable subsequences which can be used for approximation. The layout of the paper is as follows. After the introduction, some preliminaries are given and in section 3 geometric conditions on the intersection of the domain and the support are used to define so called \textit{proper B-splines}; the sequence of all these splines is showed to be stable and a sufficient analytic condition for properness is given. In section 4 approximation properties of spline spaces spanned by these proper B-splines are considered (for sufficiently `nice bounded' domains \(L^p\)-approximation is optimal for \(p\leq 2\)) and, finally, in section 5 the concept is generalized and an even larger class of B-splines leading to uniformly stable sequences is defined.
