This paper treat determinacy of strong moment problems in part I and indeterminacy of strong moment problems in part II. This paper is a summary of the following papers: [1] Ald\'en. E., Determinacy of Strong Moment Problems. [2] On…
For more than half a century, moments have attracted lot ot interest in the pattern recognition community.The moments of a distribution (an object) provide several of its characteristics as center of gravity, orientation, disparity, volume.…
When the algebraic variety associated with a truncated moment sequence is finite, solving the moment problem follows a well-defined procedure. However, moment problems involving infinite algebraic varieties are more complex and less…
We summarise different aspects of the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We argue that it is a real problem which requires a solution, and identify the properties a theory needs to solve the problem. We show that no current…
In metaphysics, there are a number of distinct but related questions about the existence of "further facts" -- facts that are contingent relative to the physical structure of the universe. These include further facts about qualia, personal…
Three recent arguments seek to show that the universal applicability of unitary quantum theory is inconsistent with the assumption that a well-conducted measurement always has a definite physical outcome. In this paper I restate and analyze…
Understanding, finding, or even deciding on the existence of real solutions to a system of equations is a very difficult problem with many applications. While it is hopeless to expect much in general, we know a surprising amount about these…
In this note, we show that if a multidimensional sequence generates Hankel tensors and all the Hankel matrices, generated by this sequence, are positive semi-definite, then this sequence is a multidimensional moment sequence.
The main result of the paper is an interesting relation between the solution of the truncated Exponential Moment problem and truncated Classical Moment problem, considered on the half-line or on a compact interval.
In this paper we give refinements of some convex and log-convex moment inequalities of the first and second order using a special kind of positive semi-definite form. An open problem concerning eight parameter refinement of second order is…
We employ positivity of Riesz functionals to establish representing measures (or approximate representing measures) for truncated multivariate moment sequences. For a truncated moment sequence $y$, we show that $y$ lies in the closure of…
Positive semidefiniteness, recursiveness, and the variety condition of a moment matrix are necessary and sufficient conditions to solve the quadratic and quartic moment problems. Also, positive semidefiniteness, combined with another…
We consider a type of long-range percolation problem on the positive integers, motivated by earlier work of others on the appearance of (in)finite words within a site percolation model. The main issue is whether a given infinite binary word…
Let $\mathsf{A}=\{a_1,\dots,a_m\}$, $m\in\mathbb{N}$, be measurable functions on a measurable space $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{A})$. If $\mu$ is a positive measure on $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{A})$ such that $\int a_i d\mu<\infty$ for all $i$,…
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
This manuscript transfers the main aspects of Prony's method from finitely-supported measures to the classes of signed or non-negative measures supported on algebraic varieties of any dimension. In particular, we show that the Zariski…
A satisfactory resolution of the persistent quantum measurement problem remains stubbornly unresolved in spite of an overabundance of efforts of many prominent scientists over the decades. Among others, one key element is considered yet to…
This paper studies generalized truncated moment problems with unbounded sets. First, we study geometric properties of the truncated moment cone and its dual cone of nonnegative polynomials. By the technique of homogenization, we give a…
The truncated moment problem asks to characterize finite sequences of real numbers that are the moments of a positive Borel measure on Rn. Its tracial analog is obtained by integrating traces of symmetric matrices and is the main topic of…
We recall the definition and the properties of a moment sequence and recall that all real sequences that have a finite rank of its Hankel matrix (see definition in the sequel) satisfy a homogeneous linear equation with constant…
