Every derivative of order of has magnitude at most . Pair the symmetric nodes and . For ,If there is an unpaired middle node, its factor has magnitude at most . Thus the full nodal product is at most , giving the stronger bound . In particular this implies the requestedThe bound tends to zero by factorial growth, so . This conclusion uses smoothness of this particular function and does not assert uniform convergence of equispaced interpolation for arbitrary continuous data.
