Abstract

We consider the classes of periodic functions with formal self-adjoint linear differential operators Wp(r), which include the classical Sobolev class as its special case. With the help of the spectral of linear differential equations, we find the exact values of Bernstein n-width of the classes Wp(r) in the Lp for 1<p<.
