If two different probability distributions have identical moments, are they equal? I suspect not, but I would guess they are "mostly" equal, for example, on everything but a set of measure zero. Does anyone know an example of two different probability distributions with identical moments? The less pathological the better. And a related question: Suppose I ask the same question about Renyi entropies. Recall that the Renyi entropy is defined for all `a` ≥ 0 by H<sub>a</sub>(p) = log(Σ<sub>j</sub> p<sub>j</sub><sup>a</sup>)/(1-a) You can define `a`=0,1,∞ by taking suitable limits of this formula. Are two distributions with identical Renyi entropies (for all values of the parameter `a`) actually equal? How "rigid" is this result? If I allow two Renyi entropies of distributions `p` and `q` to differ by at most some small ε independent of `a`, then can I put an upper bound on, say, || p - q ||<sub>1</sub> in terms of ε?
