We study the Kolmogorov n-widths dn(Bp,θΩ,Lq), the linear n-widthsδn(BBp,θΩ,Lq) and the Gelfand n-widths dn(BBp,θΩ,Lq) of Besov classes Bp,θΩon Sd-1 where Lq, 1≤q≤∞denotes the space Lq on Sd-1. Optimal asymptotic orders of dn(Bp,θΩ, Lq),δn(BBp,θΩ, Lq) and dn(BBp,θΩ, Lq) as nâ†'∞are obtained for all 1≤p, q≤∞. |
