Shapiro's Theorem for subspaces
arXiv:1009.5535
Abstract
In a previous paper (see arXiv:1003.3411 [math.CA]), we investigated the existence of an element x of a quasi-Banach space X whose errors of best approximation by a given approximation scheme (A_n) (defined by E(x,A_n) = \inf_{a \in A_n} \|x - a_n\|) decay arbitrarily slowly. In this work, we consider the question of whether x witnessing the slowness rate of approximation can be selected in a prescribed subspace of X. In many particular cases, the answer turns out to be positive.
