Entropy numbers of certain summation operators.

From MaRDI portal





Let \(a=(\alpha_k)_{k=-\infty}^\infty\) and \(b=(\beta_k)_{k=-\infty}^\infty\) be two sequences of non-negative real numbers. Then one defines (whenever it exists) the weighted summation operator \(S_{a,b}\) by NEWLINE\[NEWLINE S_{a,b}(x):= \left(\alpha_k\sum_{l<k}\beta_l x_l\right)_{k=-\infty}^\infty\;,\qquad x=(x_k)_{k=-\infty}^\infty\;. NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The aim of the present paper is to characterize sequences \(a\) and \(b\) for which \(S_{a,b}\) is a bounded operator from \(l_p(\mathbb Z)\) into \(l_q(\mathbb Z)\) with \(1\leq p,q\leq\infty\). Furthermore, if \(S_{a,b}\) is even compact, then optimal estimates for the entropy numbers of \(S_{a,b}\) (in terms of quantities defined by \(a\) and \(b\)) are proved. The results are applied to small deviation problems for weighted random sequences \((W(t_k))_{k=-\infty}^\infty\) for some increasing \(t_k>0\) and the Wiener process \(W\).
