Abstract
The Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) is a powerful information-theoretic approach to the inversion of many types of data in science and engineering. It has been used for reconstructing positive images in such areas as radio astronomy [1,2], medical tomography [3], plasma diagnostics [4] and crystallography [5]. Practical data are always corrupted by noise and are usually incomplete: for example, there may be missing projections or missing Fourier components. Also the instrumental response function may be incompletely known [6]. These factors can lead to severely ill-posed inversion problems.
