Abstract :
Existing theory on the maximum-entropy solution to the moment problem is extended. Criteria for identifying moment vectors whose maximum-entropy solution cannot have a certain exponential form are formulated. A proof of the uniqueness of maximum-entropy solutions is provided. A numerical procedure and some numerical results are presented.
