Abstract

In this article, we consider the problem of proving the optimality of several approximation spaces by means of n-widths. Specifically, they are optimal subspaces for approximating bounded subsets in some Hilbert spaces with mesh-dependent norms. We prove that finite element spaces and newly developed generalized L-spline spaces are optimal subspaces for n-widths.
