Abstract

We consider the Volterra integral operator T : L p ( + ) L p ( + ) defined by ( T f ) ( x ) = v ( x ) ʃ 0 x u ( t ) f ( t ) d t . Under suitable conditions on u and v, upper and lower estimates for the approximation numbers a n ( T ) of T are established when 1 < p < ∞. When p = 2 these yield l i m n n a n ( T ) = π - 1 ʃ 0 | u ( t ) v ( t ) | d t . We also provide upper and lower estimates for the α and weak α norms of (an(T)) when 1 < α < ∞.

AB - We consider the Volterra integral operator $T:L^{p}(ℝ^{+}) → L^{p}(ℝ^{+})$ defined by $(Tf)(x) = v(x)ʃ_{0}^{x} u(t)f(t)dt$. Under suitable conditions on u and v, upper and lower estimates for the approximation numbers $a_n(T)$ of T are established when 1 < p < ∞. When p = 2 these yield $lim_{n→∞} na_{n}(T) = π^{-1} ʃ_{0}^{∞} |u(t)v(t)|dt$. We also provide upper and lower estimates for the $ℓ^{α}$ and weak $ℓ^{α}$ norms of (an(T)) when 1 < α < ∞.
