  We consider the family of integral operators $(K_{\alpha}f)(x)$ from
$L^p[0,1]$ to $L^q[0,1]$ given by $$(K_{\alpha}f)(x)=\int_0^1(1-xy)^{\alpha
-1}\,f(y)\,\operatorname{d}\!y, \qquad 0<\alpha<1.$$ The main objective is to
find upper bounds for the Kolmogorov widths, where the $n$th Kolmogorov width
is the infimum of the deviation of $(K_{\alpha}f)$ from an $n$-dimensional
subspaces of $L^p[0,1]$ (with the infimum taken over all $n$-dimensional
subspaces), and is therefore a measure of how well $K_{\alpha}$ can be
approximated. We find upper bounds for the Kolmogorov widths in question that
decrease faster than $\exp(-\kappa \sqrt{n})$ for some positive constant
$\kappa$.
