Metric Entropy of Analytic Function Classes via Ellipsoidal Methods

We present a systematic methodology for characterizing the metric entropy of infinite-dimensional ellipsoids with exponentially decaying semi-axes.

The approach does not rely on the explicit construction of coverings or packings and yields a unified framework for deriving sharp entropy estimates for a wide range of analytic function classes, including periodic functions analytic on a strip, analytic functions bounded on a disk, and functions of exponential type.

In each of these cases, our results improve upon the best known bounds in the literature.
