Abstract: In measure theory several results are known how measure spaces are transformed into each other. But since moment functionals are represented by a measure we investigate in this study the effects and implications of these measure transformations to moment funcationals. We gain characterizations of moments functionals. Among other things we show that for a compact and path connected set

K s u b s e t m a t h b b R^{n}

there exists a measurable function

g : K o [0, 1]

such that any linear functional

L : m a t h b b R [x_{1}, d o t s, x_{n}] o m a t h b b R

is a

K

-moment functional if and only if it has a continuous extension to some

o v e r l i n e L : m a t h b b R [x_{1}, d o t s, x_{n}] + m a t h b b R [g] o m a t h b b R

such that

i l d e L : m a t h b b R [t] o m a t h b b R

defined by

i l d e L (t^{d}) := o v e r l i n e L (g^{d})

for all

d i n m a t h b b N_{0}

is a

[0, 1]

-moment functional (Hausdorff moment problem). Additionally, there exists a continuous function

f : [0, 1] o K

independent on

L

such that the representing measure

i l d e m u

of

i l d e L

provides the representing measure

i l d e m u c i r c f^{- 1}

of

L

. We also show that every moment functional

L : m a t h c a l V o m a t h b b R

is represented by

l a m b d a c i r c f^{- 1}

for some measurable function

f : [0, 1] o m a t h b b R^{n}

where

l a m b d a

is the Lebesgue on

[0, 1]

.
