Entropy Numbers of Embeddings of Weighted Besov Spaces

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the entropy numbers of the compact embedding $$ B^{s_1}_{p_1,q_1} \!\!(\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d, \alpha) \hookrightarrow B^{s_2}_{p_2,q_2} \!\!({\xxR}). $$ Here $B^s_{p,q} \!({\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d}, \alpha)$ denotes a weighted Besov space, where the weight is given by $w_\alpha (x) = (1+| x |^2)^{\alpha/2}$, and $B^{s_2}_{p_2,q_2} \!({\mbox{\footnotesize\bf R}^d})$ denotes the unweighted Besov space, respectively. We shall concentrate on the so-called limiting situation given by the following constellation of parameters: $s_2 < s_1$, $0 < p_1,p_2 \le \infty$, and $$ \alpha = s_1 - \frac{d}{p_1} - s_2 + \frac{d}{p_2} > d \, \max \Big(0, \frac{1}{p_2}-\frac{1}{p_1}\Big). $$ In almost all cases we give a sharp two-sided estimate.
