Widths of classes of convolutions with Poisson kernel (Q1316885)

The author proves a theorem on \(n\)-width of spaces of \(2\pi\)-periodic functions \[ W_p (K)= \Biggl\{f: f= C+ \int_0^{2\pi} K(x- t)\varphi(t) dt \text{ with } |\varphi|_p \leq 1, \int_0^{2\pi} \varphi(t) dt =0 \Biggr\} \] related to the Poisson kernel \(K(t)= \Pi_{\rho, \alpha} (t) \sum_{k=1}^\infty \rho^k \cos (kt- \frac {\alpha\pi}{2})\). Let now \(d_m (W_p (K))_q\) be the Kolmogorov width of order \(n\) of the class \(W_p (K)\) in the metric of \(L_q\). Then the main result states that for arbitrary real \(\alpha\) and for \(0<\rho \leq \rho (\alpha)\) with \(\rho (\alpha)= 0.2\) for integer \(\alpha\) and \(\rho (\alpha)= 0.196881\) otherwise, it holds that \[ \begin{multlined} d_{2m-1} (W_\infty (\Pi_{\rho, \alpha}))_\infty= d_{2m} (W_{\infty} (\Pi_{\rho, \alpha})_\infty= d_{2m-1} (W_1 (\Pi_{\rho, \alpha}))_1=\\ 4\max_x \Biggl|\sum_{s=0}^\infty {{(-1)^s \rho^{(2s+1)m}} \over {2s+1}} \cos \biggl( (2s+1)x- {{\alpha\pi} \over 2} \biggr) \Biggr|. \end{multlined} \] In particular, for the lower bound some detailed investigations are presented which are based on so-called periodic \(SK\)-splines corresponding to a kernel \(K= \Pi_{\rho, \alpha}\).
