Abstract
his paper investigates nonparametric estimations of a density function in a mixture model. Firstly, a lower
bound estimation under \( L^{p}(1\leq p< +\infty )\) error of an arbitrary density estimator is discussed. Secondly, a linear
estimator and an adaptive nonlinear estimator of the unknown density function are constructed by the wavelet method.
The rates of convergence of those two wavelet estimators are discussed with some mild conditions. Combining with the
lower bound estimations, two wavelet estimators can attain the optimal convergen
