Summary: If moments of singular measures are passed as inputs to the entropy maximization procedure, the optimization algorithm might not terminate. The framework developed in [M. Budišić and M. Putinar, Indag. Math., New Ser. 23, No. 4, 848–883 (2012; Zbl 1261.49012)] demonstrated how input moments of measures, on a broad range of domains, can be conditioned to ensure convergence of the entropy maximization. Here we numerically illustrate the developed framework on simplest possible examples: measures with one-dimensional, bounded supports. Three examples of measures are used to numerically compare approximations obtained through entropy maximization with and without the conditioning step.
