Abstract

Discrete moment problems (DMP) with integer moments were first introduced by Prékopa to provide sharp lower and upper bounds for functions of discrete random variables. Prékopa also developed fast and stable dual type linear programming methods for the numerical solutions of the problem. In this paper, we assume that some fractional moments are also available and propose basic theory and a solution method for the bounding problems. Numerical experiments show significant improvement in the tightness of the bounds.
