Some New Bounds on the Entropy Numbers of Diagonal Operators

Functional Analysis 2019-12-10 v3

Abstract

Entropy numbers are an important tool for quantifying the compactness of operators. Besides establishing new upper bounds on the entropy numbers of diagonal operators DσD_\sigma from p\ell_p to q\ell_q, where pqp\not=q, we investigate the optimality of these bounds. In case of p<qp<q optimality is proven for fast decaying diagonal sequences, which include exponentially decreasing sequences. In case of p>qp>q we show optimality under weaker assumption than previously used in the literature. In addition, we illustrate the benefit of our results with examples not covered in the literature so far.
