Some numerical aspects of the finite Hausdorff moment problem in the framew
ork of maximum entropy have been reviewed, as stability of Lagrange's multi
pliers computation, entropy decreasing, averages estimate. Spectral propert
ies of Hankel matrices have been considered, determinant and conditioning n
umber have been estimated. Finally entropy estimate has been provided. (C)
