Entropy-, Approximation- and Kolmogorov Numbers on Quasi-Banach Spaces

In this bachelor's thesis we introduce three quantities for linear and bounded operators on quasi-Banach spaces which are entropy numbers, approximation numbers and Kolmogorov numbers. At first we establish the three quantities with some basic properties and try to modify known content from the Banach space case. We compare each one of them, with the corresponding other two and give estimates concerning the mean values and limits. As an example, we analyze the identity operator between finite dimensional $\ell_{p}$ spaces $\mbox{id : }\left(\ell_{p}^{n}\rightarrow\ell_{q}^{n}\right)$ for $0<p,q\leq\infty$ and give sharp estimates for entropy numbers. Furthermore we add some known estimates for approximation numbers and Kolmogorov numbers. At last we examine some renowned connections of these quantities to spectral theory on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, which are the inequality of Carl and the inequality of Weyl.
