The paper deals with covering problems and the degree of compactness of operators. The main part is devoted to relationships between entropy moduli and Kolmogorov (resp. Gelfand and approximation) numbers for operators which may be interpreted as counterparts to the classical Bernstein-Jackson inequalities for functions. Certain quantifications of results in the Riesz-Schauder-Theory are given. Finally, the largest distance between “the degree of approximation” and the “degree of compactness” of integral operators in C0,1 generated by smooth kernels is determined. For illustrating of the quantifications we treat some eigenvalue and compactness problems of nuclear operators and operators of Hille-Tamarkin-type.
