Abstract. Let B p be the unit ball in L p , 0 < p < 1, and let β s + , s β N, be the set of all s-monotone functions on a finite interval I, i.e., β s + consists of all functions x : I β R such that the divided differences [x; t 0 , . . . , t s ] of order s are nonnegative for all choices of (s + 1) distinct points t 0 , . . . , t s β I. For the classes β s + B p := β s + β© B p , we obtain exact orders of Kolmogorov, linear and pseudodimensional widths in the spaces L q , 0 < q < p < 1:
