Uniform Lebesgue constants of local spline approximation (Q2424193)

The new splines with equidistant knots were proposed in a previous article of the author of this article. The splines define a linear (noninterpolation) method \(S\) of approximation of functions on the real line or on its interval. The uniform Lebesgue constants (the norms of linear operators from \(C\) to \(C\)) of these splines are studied in this article, because the Lebesgue constant characterizes the stability of the method \(S\) with respect to a perturbation of the initial data. The question of choosing the normalizing factor of splines is studied also. In some cases, the Lebesgue constants are calculated exactly on the axis \(\mathbb{R}\) and on a closed interval of the real line. It is the development of the theory of splines.
