Combine the <B-spline interpolation operator norm> estimate from part 1 with the inverse <operator norm> computed in part 2(b):
$$
\boxed{\|P_x\|_{L^\infty\to L^\infty}
\le\|A_x^{-1}\|_{\ell^\infty\to\ell^\infty}<2,}
$$
so in particular $\|P_x\|_{L^\infty}\le2$, uniformly in $n$. The <subpartition of unity for B-splines> is important at the outer boundary: the finite basis may sum to less than one there, but that only strengthens the estimate.
