Abstract
For an N-extremal solution to an indeterminate moment problem it is known by a theorem of M. Riesz that the measure is determinate. For we show by contradiction that there exist indeterminate N-extremal solutions such that is determinate, and there exist also indeterminate N-extremal solutions such that is indeterminate. Explicit examples of such measures are so far only known when . For indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems and for N-extremal solutions , we show that is indeterminate except when is the Friedrichs solution in case of which is determinate. We identify the Friedrichs and Krein solutions for some indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems.
