Interpolation of \(s\)-numbers and entropy numbers of operators (Q1738183)

The authors introduce the notion of \(\overset{\rightarrow}{s}\)-number sequence for operators acting between Banach couples. This generalizes the classical notion of \(s\)-numbers of operators which was introduced by A. Pietsch. The main aim is to study the following question under which conditions for Banach couples \(\overset{\rightarrow}{X}=(X_0,X_1)\) and \(\overset{\rightarrow}{Y}=(Y_0,Y_1)\) it holds that \[ \overset{\rightarrow}{s}_{g(m+n-1)}(T:\overset{\rightarrow}{X}\rightarrow \overset{\rightarrow}{Y})\leq \varphi(s_m(T:X_0\rightarrow Y_0),s_n(T:X_1\rightarrow Y_1)) \] for every \(m,n\in\mathbb N\), every operator \(T:\overset{\rightarrow}{X}\rightarrow \overset{\rightarrow}{Y}\) and nice functions \(g:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb N\), \(\varphi:\mathbb R_+\times\mathbb R_+\rightarrow \mathbb R_+\). In particular, results of this kind are given for approximation numbers, Kolmogrov numbers, and Gelfand numbers. We refer the reader to the interesting paper for details.
