Widths and quadrature formulas on periodic function classes, conjugate to the Sobolev classes (Q805967)

Let \(B_{r,\alpha}(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{k=1}(2\pi k)^{-r} \cos (2\pi kx-\alpha \pi /2)\). The author proves estimates from below for the Kolmogorov widths in \(L_ q[0,1]\) of the class of 1-periodic functions \(W_ p^{r,\alpha}=\{f:\) \(f=B_{r,\alpha}*u+const\), \(\| u\|_ p\leq 1\}\). For all real \(\alpha\), \(1\leq p,q\leq \infty\) and \(r,n=1,2,...\), \[ d_{2n}(W_{\infty}^{r,\alpha},L_ q)\geq \| B_{r,\alpha}(x)*sign \sin (2\pi nx)\|_ q, \] \[ d_{2n}(W_ p^{r,\alpha},L_ 1)\geq \| B_{r,\alpha}(x)*sign \sin (2\pi nx)\|_{p'}, \] p\({}'=p/(p-1)\). In a number of cases these lower estimates are equal to the known upper estimates. It is also proved that the rectangular rule is optimal for \(W_ p^{r,\alpha}\) among the quadrature formulas with positive weights. Some of the above results were previously known for certain combinations p,r,\(\alpha\). More general classes of smooth functions are also considered.
