N2 - We consider the von Neumann entropy (ρ) := -trace(ρlogρ) and the Kullback-Leibler-Umegaki distance double-struk S sign (ρ∥σ) := trace(ρlogρ- ρlogρ) as regularizing functional in seeking solutions to multi-variable and multi-dimensional moment problems. We show how to obtain extrema for such functional via a suitable homotopy and how to characterize all the solutions to moment problems. The range of possible applications includes the inverse problem of describing power spectra which are consistent with second-order statistics, measurement in classical thermodynamics as well as a quantum mechanics, as well as analytic interpolation encountered in modern robust control (cf. [6], [14], [15], [16], [17]).
