Metric Entropy of Ellipsoids in Banach Spaces: Techniques and Precise Asymptotics
This paper introduces new techniques to provide a unified framework for computing the metric entropy of ellipsoids in Banach spaces, delivering precise asymptotic expansions with explicit constants, improved second-order terms, and the first exact characterization for infinite-dimensional bodies, with significant applications to function classes in Sobolev and Besov spaces and machine learning.
