%0 Journal Article %T Entropy and approximation numbers of weighted Sobolev spaces via bracketing %A Therese Mieth %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of entropy and approximation numbers of the compact embedding $E^m_{p,\sigma}(B)\hookrightarrow L_p(B)$, $1\leq p<\infty,$ defined on the unit ball $B$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Here $E^m_{p,\sigma}(B)$ denotes a Sobolev space with a power weight perturbed by a logarithmic function. The weight contains a singularity at the origin. Inspired by Evans and Harris, we apply a bracketing technique which is an analogue to that of Dirichlet-Neumann-bracketing used by Triebel if $p=2$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.00661v1
