A b s t r a c t . In this paper, in order to consider the problems of relative width on R d , we proposed definitions of relative average width which combine the ideas of the relative width and the average width. We established the smallest number M which make the following equality2 ) is the Riesz potential or Bessel potential of the unit ball in L 2 (R k ) and the notations Kσ(·, ·, L2(R d )) and dσ(·, L2(R d )) denote respectively the relative average width in the sense of Kolmogorov and the average width in the sense of Kolmogorov in their given order. In 2001, Subbotin and Telyakovskii got similar results on the relative width of Kolmogorov type. We also proved that, U(W β 2 ) ∩ B(L2(R d ))L2(R d )) = dσ(U (W α 2 ), L2(R d )), where 0 < β < α.
