摘要: Abstract An algorithm for determining the distribution of maximal entropy subject to constraints is presented. The method provides an alternative conventional procedure which requires numerical solution a set implicit nonlinear equations Lagrange multipliers. Here they are determined by seeking minimum concave function, readily lends itself computational work. program also incorporates two preliminary stages. first verifies that linearly independent and second checks feasible exists.
