Indeterminacy of the moment problem for symmetric probability measures
Abstract
In this paper, the moment problem for symmetric probability measures is characterized in terms of associated sequences called Jacobi sequences $\{\omega_n\}$. A notion named property (SC), which is proved to be a necessary and sufficient condition for the indeterminacy of the moment problem, naturally arises from the viewpoint of finite dimensional approximation for infinite matrices. We prove that the moment problem for q-Gaussian not only for $q>1$ but also for $q<-1$ is indeterminate. We also prove that hyperbolic secant distribution is "the last probability measure" which is uniquely determined by the moment sequence of power type, just by checking property (SC) with quite easy calculation.
