• Sommario/riassunto: This book describes a useful tool for solving linear inverse problems subject to convex constraints. The method of maximum entropy in the mean automatically takes care of the constraints. It consists of a technique for transforming a large dimensional inverse problem into a small dimensional non-linear variational problem. A variety of mathematical aspects of the maximum entropy method are explored as well.
