MAXIMUM ENTROPY FOR REDUCED MOMENT PROBLEMS

The existence of maximum entropy solutions for a wide class of reduced moment problems on arbitrary open subsets of ℝd is considered. In particular, new results for the case of unbounded domains are obtained. A precise condition is presented under which solvability of the moment problem implies existence of a maximum entropy solution.
