Abstract:

This paper gives an algorithm to determine a discrete distribution with specified entropy. Given n and Hn, the entropy, the distribution found is close to a discrete finite uniform distribution. Finally, the relative errors of the distribution found using this algorithm are compared to the ones of the discrete distribution obtained from the Lagrange multipliers method.
