Extensions of Bernstein's Lethargy Theorem
Abstract
In this paper, we examine the aptly-named "Lethargy Theorem" of Bernstein and survey its recent extensions. We show that one of these extensions shrinks the interval for best approximation by half while the other gives a surprising connection to the space of bounded linear operators between two Banach spaces.
