Abstract: Maximum entropy method is used for many different optimizations, often for uderdetermined systems or when objective function has to be introduced. Applications range from image processing to crystallography and chemistry or economics and network design. Suitability of the maximum entropy method for the network design problem, which includes topology, routing and possibly capacity assignment, was already investigated. Algorithms were developed that use the maximum entropy method and some heuristics to find good quality network design problem solutions. In this lecture we investigate theoretical behavior of the maximum entropy method applied to the network design problem and possible uses of these theoretical results for initial settings that improve convergence speed of the mentioned algorithms.
