On the equality of Kolmogorov and relative widths of classes of differentiable functions (Q1048588)

This work continues a study by the authors [Math. Notes 65 (5--6), 731--738(1999); translation from Mat. Zametki 65, No.~6, 871--879 (1999; Zbl 0967.42001), and Proceedings of the Steklov Institute of Mathematics 248, 243--254 (2005); translation from Tr. Mat. Inst. Steklova 248, 250--261 (2005; Zbl 1121.41027)] on the widths of a class of differentiable functions whose derivative of order \(r-1\) satisfies a Lipschitz condition with constant \(M\). For some values of \(M\) the Kolmogorov width is equal the relative width. The authors ask, ``What is the minimal value of \(M\) that renders the two widths equal?'' Improving a previous result of theirs, the authors sharpen the estimate for such a minimal \(M\).
