Condensation principles with rates
We show that in a super-reflexive Banach space, the conditionality constants of a quasi-greedy basis ℬ grow at most like for some 0 < ε < 1. This extends results by the third-named author and Wojtaszczyk (2014), where this property was shown for quasi-greedy bases in for 1 < p < ∞. We also give an example of a quasi-greedy basis ℬ in a reflexive Banach space with .
We study the following nonlinear method of approximation by trigonometric polynomials. For a periodic function f we take as an approximant a trigonometric polynomial of the form , where is a set of cardinality m containing the indices of the m largest (in absolute value) Fourier coefficients f̂(k) of the function f. Note that Gₘ(f) gives the best m-term approximant in the L₂-norm, and therefore, for each f ∈ L₂, ||f-Gₘ(f)||₂ → 0 as m → ∞. It is known from previous results that in the case of...
