In order to ascertain which are the essential requirements that allow for the application of MaxEnt techniques in connection with evolution problems, we study time-dependent probability distributions governed by a general, linear evolution equation that admits, as particular instances, the...

We devise a maximum entropy technique to construct (approximate) time-dependent solutions to evolution equations endowed with source terms and, consequently, not preserving normalization. In some special cases the method yields exact solutions. It is shown that the present implementation of the...
