Maximum entropy and the moment problem. (English) Zbl 0617.42004
This paper connects the trigonometric moment problem with some questions centering on prediction and entropy. In turn, this suggests a simple approach, by way of orthogonal decomposition, to the moment problem itself, to associated factorizations of Toeplitz matrices, and, in a continuous version, to certain results of M. G. Krein concerning Sturm- Liouville differential equations.
