Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space with $|X|=n$. For a positive integer $k$ we define $A_k(X)$ to be the quotient set of all $k$-subsets of $X$ by isometry, and we denote $|A_k(X)|$ by $a_k$. The sequence $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n})$ is…

With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…

We deal with the following general version of the classical moment problem: when can a linear functional on a unital commutative real algebra $A$ be represented as an integral with respect to a Radon measure on the character space $X(A)$ of…

In this paper, we address the problem of reconstruction of support of a measure from its moments. More precisely, given a finite subset of the moments of a measure, we develop a semidefinite program for approximating the support of measure…

Moment methods are classical approaches that approximate the mesoscopic radiative transfer equation by a system of macroscopic moment equations. An expansion in the angular variables transforms the original equation into a system of…

A clear articulation of Method of Moments (MOM) Histograms is instructive and has waited 121 years since 1895. Also of interest are enabling uniform bin width (UBW) shape level sets. Mean-variance MOM uniform bin width frequency and density…

The multivariate moment problem is investigated in the general context of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{R}[x_i \mid i \in \Omega]$ in an arbitrary number of variables $x_i$, $i\in \Omega$. The results obtained are sharpest when the index…

The moment-SOS hierarchy is a widely applicable framework to address polynomial optimization problems over basic semi-algebraic sets based on positivity certificates of polynomial. Recent works show that the convergence rate of this…

Power moments, modified moments, and optimized moments are powerful tools for solving microscopic models of macroscopic systems; however the expansion of the density of states as a continued fraction does not converge to the macroscopic…

In this article we study the bivariate truncated moment problem (TMP) of degree $2k$ on reducible cubic curves. First we show that every such TMP is equivalent after applying an affine linear transformation to one of 8 canonical forms of…
