Abstract
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 ∫ fhi dμ = λi for i = 1, 2,..., ... k the maximizer of entropy is an f0 that is proportional to exp(∑ci hi ) for some choice of ci . An extension of this to a continuum of constraints and many examples are presented.
