Uniform-norm stability of a B-spline basis (source code)

= Uniform-norm stability of a B-spline basis

For a linearly independent partition-normalized <B-spline> basis, equivalence of norms gives a lower coefficient-stability constant. The upper bound follows from the <subpartition of unity for B-splines>. A knot-independent stability bound can be chosen depending on spline order. This norm comparison transfers matrix estimates to the <B-spline interpolation operator norm>.
