Resumo

It is shown that (i) every probability density is the unique maximizer of relative entropy in an appropriate class and (ii) in the class of all pdf f that satisfy ae fh (i) d mu = lambda (i) for i = 1, 2, ...,... kthe maximizer of entropy is an f (0) that is proportional to exp(I c pound (i) h (i) ) for some choice of c (i) . An extension of this to a continuum of constraints and many examples are presented.
