contents We consider the problem of determining the manifold $n$-widths of Sobolev and Besov spaces with error measured in the $L_p$-norm. The manifold widths control how efficiently these spaces can be approximated by general non-linear parametric methods with the restriction that the parameter selection and parameterization maps must be continuous. Existing upper and lower bounds only match when the Sobolev or Besov smoothness index $q$ satisfies $q\leq p$ or $1 \leq p \leq 2$. We close this gap and obtain sharp lower bounds for all $1 \leq p,q \leq \infty$ for which a compact embedding holds. A key part of our analysis is to determine the exact value of the manifold widths of finite dimensional $\ell^M_q$-balls in the $\ell_p$-norm when $p\leq q$. Although this result is not new, we provide a new proof and apply it to lower bounding the manifold widths of Sobolev and Besov spaces. Our results show that the Bernstein widths, which are typically used to lower bound the manifold widths, decay asymptotically faster than the manifold widths in many cases.
