Kolmogorov widths of weighted Sobolev classes on a multi-dimensional domain with conditions on the derivatives of order \(r\) and zero (Q2045834)

Given a domain \(\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d\) and two measureable functions (weights) \(g, \nu : \Omega \to (0,\infty)\), the author defines the weighted Sobolev space \(W^r_{p,g}(\Omega)\), and the weighted Lebesgue space \(L_{q,\nu}(\Omega)\). A review is presented of the cases where one has exact estimates for the Kolmogorov \(n\)-widths of the unit ball of \(W^r_{p,g}(\Omega)\) in \(L_{q,\nu}(\Omega)\). In this paper are to be found two examples of order estimates of these Kolmogorov (and linear) \(n\)-widths when \(\Omega\) is a John domain, and the weights \(g, \nu\) are functions of distance to some \(h\)-subset of \(\partial \Omega\). And also where \(\Omega = \mathbb R^d\) and the weights are powers of \(1+ |x|\). Exact definitions and theorems are in the paper and are technical in nature.
