On exact widths of a functional class defined by convolution (Q1896903)

In this paper, the author computes the exact values of the Kolmogorov \(n\)-width, the Bernstein \(n\)-width, and the linear \(n\)-width for a class of functions \(W^{*K}_\infty [0,1]: =\{f|f(t)= (K*u)(t)\), \(t\in [0,1]\), \(u\in L_\infty (\mathbb{R})\), \(|u |_\infty \leq 1\}\), generated by convolution with a continuous, integrable function \(K\) on the real axis, where \(\int^\infty_{-\infty} K(t) dt=1\), and such that \(F(t,\xi) =K (t-\xi)\) is strictly totally positive. All three \(n\)-widths are shown to be equal to \(|x_n^{*K} |_\infty\), where \(x_n^{*K}\) is the convolution perfect \(K\)-spline least deviating from zero.
