We consider algorithms that use standard information $\\Lambda^{\\rm std}$ consisting of function values or general linear information $\\Lambda^{\\rm all}$ consisting of arbitrary continuous linear functionals. We investigate the equivalences of various notions of algebraic and exponential tractability for $\\Lambda^{\\rm std}$ and $\\Lambda^{\\rm all}$ for the absolute error criterion, and show that the power of $\\Lambda^{\\rm std}$ is the same as that of $\\Lambda^{\\rm all}$ for all notions of algebraic and exponential tractability without any condition. Specifically, we solve Open Problems 116-118 and almost solve Open Problem 115 as posed by E.Novak and H.Wo\\'zniakowski in the book: Tractability of Multivariate Problems, Volume III: Standard Information for Operators, EMS Tracts in Mathematics, Z\\\"urich, 2012.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-12T05:24:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "41A63", "65C05", "65D15", "65Y20" ], "keywords": [ "average case setting", "standard information", "open problem", "exponential tractability", "general linear information" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
