Abstract: We study integration and L2-approximation on countable tensor products of function spaces of increasing smoothness. We obtain upper and lower bounds for the minimal errors, which are sharp in many cases including, e.g., Korobov, Walsh, Haar, and Sobolev spaces. For the proofs we derive embedding theorems between spaces of increasing smoothness and appropriate weighted function spaces of fixed smoothness.


The authors consider the problems of integration/approximation of functions depending on an infinite number of variables. Clearly, in order to make this non-trivial, weighted spaces must be considered. Focus is on the information complexity of such problems. It is evident that a rigorous treatment of these problems requires a theoretical backbone. This is established in Section~2 (Tensor products and reproducing kernels) and Section~3 (Increasing smoothness and weights), going beyond the classical setup. The main results are established in Section~4 (Infinite-dimensional approximation and integration) by controlling the associated $n$-th minimal errors, i.e., the best possible accuracy by using algorithms of cost at most~$n$. The framework for this analysis is within the theory of information-based complexity, see the recent monographs [\textit{E. Novak} and \textit{H. Woźniakowski}, Tractability of multivariate problems. Volume I: Linear information. Zürich: European Mathematical Society (EMS) (2008; Zbl 1156.65001); Tractability of multivariate problems. Volume II: Standard information for functionals. Zürich: European Mathematical Society (EMS) (2010; Zbl 1241.65025); Tractability of multivariate problems. Volume III: Standard information for operators. Zürich: European Mathematical Society (EMS) (2012; Zbl 1359.65003)]. Within the `standard setting' (made precise in the study), the major result is Theorem~4.5, upper and lower bounding the decay rates of the $n$-th minimal errors (for both the integration and approximation problem) in terms of the considered weights. Several examples and counter-examples accompany the theoretical analysis. Three appendices provide additional information.
