Abstract. For splines of degree k > 1 with knots -ti, = t2m+i^¡ = 1 + q + q2 + ■ ■ ■ +qm~', i = 1, . . ., m, where 0 < q < 1, it is shown that spline interpolation to continuous functions at nodes t, = SÎ xvJl+j, i = 1, . . . , n = 2m -k -1, has operator norm H^H which is bounded independently of q and m as q tends to zero if and only if(1 -wtf <|, (1 -wk)k < j, and w, > 0, / ■■ 1,..., k. The choice of nodes t, = 2o + l wj'i+j arK* tne growth rate of ||P|| with k are also discussed.1. Two-Sided ¿^-Splines. To integers n > 0, k > 0, and a nondecreasing sequence t = (t¡)1+k+x with r, < ti+k+x, i = 1, ■ ■ ■ , n, is associated Sfc+ljt, the space of polynomial splines of order k + 1 with knot sequence t, defined by S¿+lit = span{TV,, . . ., Nn), where each N¡ = Nik+X is an appropriate normalized /»-spline.See [1] for specific details.
