Abstract

The Hamburger and Stieltjes moment problem and the sequence of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) approximates with given moments are considered. MaxEnt approximate converges in entropy to the unknown distribution when the Hamburger (or Stieltjes) moment problem is determinate and the underlying distribution has finite entropy.
