Abstract

Let \(K(x,y) \in C([0,1]) \times [0,1])\) and set
$${K_p} = \left\{ {K\,h\,\left( x \right):K\,h\,\left( x \right) = \int\limits_0^1 {K\,(x,y)\,h\,(y)\,d\,y,{{\left\| h \right\|}_p}} \underline{\underline < } \,1} \right\}$$
where
$${\left\| h \right\|_p} = \left\{ {_{ess\sup \,\left\{ {\left| {h\left( y \right)} \right|:\,0\underline{\underline < } \,y\,\underline{\underline < } \,1} \right\},\,\,\,\,\,p = \infty }^{{{\left( {\int\limits_0^1 {{{\left| {h\left( y \right)} \right|}^p}dy} } \right)}^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{$1$} \!\mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 p}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} \!\lower0.7ex\hbox{$p$}}}},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,1\underline{\underline < } p < \infty }} \right.$$
In Section 2 of this chapter we determine the n-widths (d n , d n and δ n ) of K p in Lq for p = ∞, 1 ≦ q ≦ ∞, and 1 ≦ p ≦ ∞, q = 1, where K is a nondegenerate totally positive kernel. (Such kernels were defined in Section 5 of Chapter IV and are redefined in Section 2.) We prove that all three n-widths considered are equal (the common value depending on p and q) and that there exists a set of n distinct points in {Ei} i=1 n in (0,1) for which X n = span {K(•,Ei)} i=1 n is optimal for d n (K p ;L q ), with the {E i } i=1 n dependent on p, q. Furthermore, there exists an additional set {η i } i=1 n of n distinct points in (0,1) (again dependent on p, q) for which interpolation from X n to K h(x) at the {η i } i=1 n is optimal for δ n (K p ;L q ). (An analogous statement holds for d n (K p ;L q ).)
