Best \(m\)-term approximation and Lizorkin-Triebel spaces (Q2275487)

The paper is concerned with the asymptotic behaviour of the widths of best \(m\)-term approximation \(\sigma_m(Y,X,\Phi)\) (in a~wavelet basis~\(\Phi\)) with respect to Lizorkin--Triebel as well as Besov spaces. Final assertions in all possible situations are obtained. Embeddings into the approximation spaces \(\mathcal A^s_q (L_p)\) with \(q<\infty \) are examined. This leads to detailed information on the decay of wavelet coefficients for the elements of Lizorkin-Triebel and Besov spaces. A characterization of all Besov and Lizorkin-Triebel spaces which are embedded into \(\mathcal A^s_\infty (L_p(\mathbb R^d),\Phi)\) is obtained, replacing also \(L_p(\mathbb R^d)\) by Besov and Lizorkin--Triebel spaces. The behavior of \(\sigma_m(Y,X,\Phi)\) is studied for pairs \((X, Y )\) of homogeneous Besov and Lizorkin--Triebel spaces, for inhomogeneous Besov and Lizorkin--Triebel spaces, and for spaces of such type on bounded open sets. The main tool employed is interpolation theory.
