Compactness properties of weighted summation operators on trees
We investigate compactness properties of weighted summation operators as mappings from ℓ₁(T) into for some q ∈ (1,∞). Those operators are defined by , t ∈ T, where T is a tree with partial order ⪯. Here α and σ are given weights on T. We introduce a metric d on T such that compactness properties of (T,d) imply two-sided estimates for , the (dyadic) entropy numbers of . The results are applied to concrete trees, e.g. moderately increasing, biased or binary trees and to weights with α(t)σ(t)...
