Let \(k=( k_{1},k_{2},\dots ,k_{d}) \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}^{d}\) and \(C^{k}( \mathbb{R}^{d}) :=\{ f\in C( \mathbb{R}^{d}) :D_{j}^{k_{j}}f\in C( \mathbb{R}^{d}), j=1,2,\dots ,d, \|f\|_{C^{k}( \mathbb{R}^{d}) }<\infty \} \) where \[ \|f\|_{C^{k}( \mathbb{R}^{d}) }:=\|f\|_{C( \mathbb{R}^{d})}+\sum_{j=1}^{d}\|D_{j}^{k_{j}}f\|_{C( \mathbb{R}^{d}) }\tag{1} \] and \(D_{j}^{k_{j}}f( x) =\frac{\partial ^{k_{j}}f( x) }{\partial x_{j}^{k_{j}}},\) \(j=1,2,\dots ,d.\) The anisotropic Hölder class \(W^{r}H^{\alpha }( \mathbb{R}^{d}) \) is defined by: \(W^{r}H^{\alpha }( \mathbb{R}^{d}) :=\{ f\in C^{r}( \mathbb{R}^{d}) :|D_{j}^{r_{j}}f( x+he_{j}) -D_{j}^{r_{j}}f( x) |\leq |h|^{\alpha _{j}},\forall x\in \mathbb{R}^{d},\) \(\forall h\in \mathbb{R}\), \(j=1,2,\dots ,d\} \) where \(r=( r_{1},\dots ,r_{d}) \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}^{d},\) \(\alpha =( \alpha _{1},\dots ,\alpha _{d}) ,\) \(0 <\alpha _{j}\leq 1,\) \(e_{j}=( 0,\dots ,1,\dots ,0) \in \mathbb{R}^{d},\) (1 on \(j\)-th position), \(j=1,2,\dots ,d.\) The authors study the problems of the average widths and of the optimal recovery of the class \(W^{r}H^{\alpha }( \mathbb{R}^{d}) \) with respect to the norm (1).
