Abstract |
|
Hamburger and Stieltjes moment sequences are studied from the standpoint of the geometry of their moment spaces. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained that each of these sequences be indeterminate. The elements in the associated Jacobi and Stieltjes type continued fractions are characterized in terms of ratios of distances in the moment spaces. |
