A Short Note on the Comparison of Interpolation Widths, Entropy Numbers, and Kolmogorov Widths

We compare the Kolmogorov and entropy numbers of compact operators mapping from a Hilbert space into a Banach space. We then apply these general findings to embeddings between reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and $L_\infty(μ)$. Here we provide a sufficient condition for a gap of the order $n^{1/2}$ between the associated interpolation and Kolmogorov $n$-widths. Finally, we show that in the multi-dimensional Sobolev case, this gap actually occurs between the Kolmogorov and approximation widths.
