Abstract:

This manual describes the Fortran 90 implementation of maximum-entropy basis functions. The main ingredients of the theory are presented, and then the numerical implementation is touched upon. Instructions on the installation and execution of the code, as well as on writing an interface to the library are presented. Each program module and the most important functions in each module are discussed. The F90 library can be used for different applications of maximum-entropy basis functions such as meshfree Galerkin methods and data approximation in lower- and higher-dimensional parameter spaces ( ${\rm {I\!R}}^d$, $d\ge 1$).
