The Multidimensional Maximum Entropy Moment Problem: a Review on Numerical Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently the author developed a numerical method for the multidimensional momentconstrained maximum entropy problem, which is practically capable of solving maximum entropy problems in the two-dimensional domain with moment constraints of order up to 8, in the threedimensional domain with moment constraints of order up to 6, and in the four-dimensional domain with moment constraints of order up to 4, corresponding to the total number of moment constraints of 44, 83 and 69, respectively. In this work, the author assembles together key algorithms and observations from his previous works as well as other literature in an attempt to present a comprehensive exposition of the current methods and results for the multidimensional maximum entropy moment problem.

The multidimensional moment-constrained maximum entropy problem: A BFGS algorithm with constraint scaling
In a recent paper we developed a new algorithm for the moment-constrained maximum entropy problem in a multidimensional setting, using a multidimensional orthogonal polynomial basis in the dual space of Lagrange multipliers to achieve numerical stability and rapid convergence of the Newton iterations. Here we introduce two new improvements for the existing algorithm, adding significant computat...

In this paper, the continuous optimal control theory is used to model and solve the maximum entropy problem for a continuous random variable. The maximum entropy principle provides a method to obtain least-biased probability density function (Pdf) estimation. In this paper, to find a closed form solution for the maximum entropy problem with any number of moment constraints, the entropy is consi...
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 کاملAffordable robust moment closures for CFD based on the maximum-entropy hierarchy
The use of moment closures for the prediction of continuum and moderately non-equilibrium flows offers modelling and numerical advantages over other methods. The maximumentropy hierarchy of moment closures holds the promise of robustly hyperbolic stable moment equations, however their are two issues that limit their practical implementation. Firstly, for closures that have a treatment for heat ...
