Some Remarks on Diametral Dimension and Approximate Diametral Dimension of Certain Nuclear Fréchet Spaces

Source abstract

The diametral dimension, $\Delta(E)$, and the approximate diametral dimension, $\delta (E)$, of a nuclear Fréchet space $E$ which satisfies $\underline{DN}$ and $\Omega$, are related to corresponding invariant of power series spaces $\Lambda_{1}(\varepsilon)$ and $\Lambda_{\infty}\left(\varepsilon\right)$ for some exponent sequence $\varepsilon$. In this article, we examine a question of whether $\delta (E)$ must coincide with that of a power series space if $\Delta(E)$ does the same, and vice versa. In this regard, we first show that this question has an affirmative answer in the infinite type case by showing that $\Delta (E)=\Delta\left(\Lambda_{\infty} (\varepsilon)\right)$ if and only if $\delta (E)= \delta (\Lambda_{\infty}(\varepsilon))$. Then we consider the question in the finite type case and, among other things, we prove that $\delta (E)=\delta\left(\Lambda_{1} (\varepsilon)\right)$ if and only if $\Delta (E)= \Delta (\Lambda_{1}(\varepsilon))$ and $E$ has a prominent bounded subset.
