Optimal approximation on \(S^d\) (Q1578429)

The author introduces a wide range of smooth functions on the \(d\)-dimensional sphere and considers the asymptotic behavior of \(n\)-widths of function sets on spheres. These function sets may have finite or infinite smoothness, the latter including either analytic or either entire functions. The main result establishes weak asymptotic behavior of Kolmogorov \(n\)-widths. Upper and lower bounds for the \(n\)-widths were presented. Moreover, it was shown that these upper and lower bounds coincide with some important concrete examples.
