Gelfand numbers and metric entropy of convex hulls in Hilbert spaces

Gelfand numbers and metric entropy of convex hulls in Hilbert spaces We establish optimal estimates of Gelfand numbers or Gelfand widths of absolutely convex hulls cov(K) of precompact subsets $${K\subset H}$$ of a Hilbert space H by the metric entropy of the set K where the covering numbers $${N(K, \varepsilon)}$$ of K by $${\varepsilon}$$ -balls of H satisfy the Lorentz condition $$ \int\limits_{0}^{\infty} \left(\log N(K,\varepsilon) \right)^{r/s}\, d\varepsilon^{s} < \infty $$ for some fixed $${0 < r, s \le \infty}$$ with the usual modifications in the cases r = ∞, 0 < s < ∞ and 0 < r < ∞, s = ∞. The integral here is an improper Stieltjes integral. Moreover, we obtain optimal estimates of Gelfand numbers of absolutely convex hulls if the metric entropy satisfies the entropy condition $$\sup_{\varepsilon >0 }\varepsilon \left(\log N(K,\varepsilon) \right)^{1/r}\left(\log(2+\log N(K,\varepsilon))\right)^\beta < \infty$$ for some fixed 0 < r < ∞, −∞ < β < ∞.

Abstract

We establish optimal estimates of Gelfand numbers or Gelfand widths of absolutely convex hulls cov(K) of precompact subsets $${K\subset H}$$ of a Hilbert space H by the metric entropy of the set K where the covering numbers $${N(K, \varepsilon)}$$ of K by $${\varepsilon}$$ -balls of H satisfy the Lorentz condition $$ \int\limits_{0}^{\infty} \left(\log N(K,\varepsilon) \right)^{r/s}\, d\varepsilon^{s} < \infty $$ for some fixed $${0 < r, s \le \infty}$$ with the usual modifications in the cases r = ∞, 0 < s < ∞ and 0 < r < ∞, s = ∞. The integral here is an improper Stieltjes integral. Moreover, we obtain optimal estimates of Gelfand numbers of absolutely convex hulls if the metric entropy satisfies the entropy condition $$\sup_{\varepsilon >0 }\varepsilon \left(\log N(K,\varepsilon) \right)^{1/r}\left(\log(2+\log N(K,\varepsilon))\right)^\beta < \infty$$ for some fixed 0 < r < ∞, −∞ < β < ∞. Using inequalities between Gelfand and entropy numbers we also get optimal estimates of the metric entropy of the absolutely convex hull cov(K). As an interesting feature of the estimates, a sudden jump of the asymptotic behavior of Gelfand numbers as well as of the metric entropy of absolutely convex hulls occurs for fixed s if the parameter r crosses the point r = 2 and, if r = 2 is fixed, if the parameter β crosses the point β = 1. The results established in Hilbert spaces extend and recover corresponding results of several authors.
