On almost everywhere convergence of orthogonal spline projections with arbitrary knots (Q2637503)

The paper deals with the proof that, for any \(f\in L_1[a, b]\), a sequence of its orthogonal projections \((P_{\Delta_n}( f ))\) onto splines of order \(k\) with arbitrary knots \(\Delta_n\) converges almost everywhere provided that the mesh diameter \(|\Delta_n|\) tends to zero. This extends the earlier known result that, for \(f\in L_p,\) one has convergence \(P_{\Delta_n}( f )\to f\) in the \(L_p, 1\leq p\leq \infty\)-norm, where the authors interpret \(L_\infty\) as the space of continuous functions.
