Abstract

A moment problem is presented for a class of signed measures which are termed pseudo-positive. Our main result says that for every pseudo-positive definite functional (subject to some reasonable restrictions) there exists a representing pseudo-positive measure.

The second main result is a characterization of determinacy in the class of equivalent pseudo-positive representation measures. Finally the corresponding truncated moment problem is discussed.
