Quasi-widths for some classes of differentiable periodic functions of two variables (Q2455269)

The paper deals with approximation of periodic functons in the space \(L_2=L_2(Q)\), \(Q=[0,2\pi)\times [0,2\pi)\). Given two sets of functions of one variable, \(V_m=\{v_\mu (x\}_{\mu=0}^m\) and \(U_n=\{u_\nu (y\}_{\nu=0}^n\), let \(G(V_m, U_n)\) be the set of all functions \(g(x,y)\) of the form \[ g(x,y)= \sum_{\mu=0}^m v_\mu(x)\psi_\mu (y) + \sum_{\nu=0}^n \phi_\nu (x)u_\nu (y), \] with arbitrary \(\phi_\nu (x)\) and \(\psi_\nu (y)\). For an element \(f\in L_2\), let \(E(f,G(V_m, U_n))\) be the distance from \(f\) to the set \(G(V_m, U_n)\). Finally, for a class \(\mathcal M\) of elements, the Kolmogorov quasi-width of \({\mathcal M}\) is the quantity \[ d_{m,n}({\mathcal M}, L_2):=\inf \sup _{f \in {\mathcal M}} E(f,G(V_m, U_n)), \] where the infimum is taken over all possible combinations \(V_m, U_n\). Linear quasi-widths are defined similarly. In the paper, exact values of quasi-widths are found for some classes of differentiable functions in \(L_2(Q)\).
