Estimation of the Entropy Numbers and Kolmogorov Widths for the Nikol’skii–Besov Classes of Periodic Functions of Many Variables

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We establish order estimates for the entropy numbers of the Nikol’skii–Besov classes B r p,θ of periodic functions of many variables in the space L q with certain relations between the parameters p and q. By using the obtained lower estimates of the entropy numbers, we establish the exact-order estimates for the Kolmogorov widths of the same classes of functions in the space L 1.
