Carleman's condition

In mathematics, particularly, in analysis, Carleman's condition gives a sufficient condition for the determinacy of the moment problem. That is, if a measure satisfies Carleman's condition, there is no other measure having the same moments as The condition was discovered by Torsten Carleman in 1922.[1]

Hamburger moment problem

For the Hamburger moment problem (the moment problem on the whole real line), the theorem states the following:

Let be a measure on such that all the moments

are finite. If

then the moment problem for is determinate; that is, is the only measure on with as its sequence of moments.

Stieltjes moment problem

For the Stieltjes moment problem, the sufficient condition for determinacy is
