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 Multidimensional Maximum Entropy Moment Problem: a Review on Numerical Methods
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...
متن کاملThe 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...
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...
