Maximum Entropy and the Moment Problem
Introduction. The trigonometric moment problem stands at the source of several major streams in analysis. From it flow developments in function theory, in spectral representation of operators, in probability, in approximation, and in the study of inverse problems. Here we connect it also with a group of questions centering on entropy and prediction. In turn, this will suggest a simple approach,...
متن کاملThe moment problem and maximum entropy: numerical investigation
The nite moment problem in the framework of maximum entropy approach is numerically investigated to recover a positive density function. Numerical experiments suggest that a few moments can be eeectively used as the moment space geometry. If an high machine precision is adopted, an estimate of the information content of a recovered function can be obtained.
متن کاملMaximum Entropy in the Finite Stielties and Hamburger Moment Problem
A necessary and suucient condition for the existence of the maximum entropy (ME) function deened in an innnite or semiinnnite interval, is provided. The conclusions reached show that, except in a few particular cases, the necessary and suucient conditions for the existence of maximum entropy function are identical to the conditions for the solution of the moment problem when the rst M+1 moments...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy in the Finite Hausdorff Moment Problem
The maximum entropy (M.E.) approach to the nite Hausdorr moment problem is studied, a new approach to prove the necessary and suucient conditions for the existence of M.E. solution is considered by transforming the moment problem into a system of ordinary diierential equations. The new technique allows also to prove entropy convergence of the resulting sequence of maximum entropy extimators, an...
متن کاملHausdorff moment problem and maximum entropy: A unified approach
Hausdor moment problem in the approach of maximum entropy is reconsidered. Some aspects, as existence condition, entropy convergence, entropy decreasing, stability are studied through a uni®ed approach. Results known in literature and some new ones are illustrated Ó 1999 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Convex hull; Entropy; Hankel determinant; Moment problem 1. Introductio...
