That's if you require the range to be [0, infinity). If you don't require 0 to be a valid point in the distribution then a power law is the maximum entropy distribution. A power law just diverges if you try to integrate to zero, so you have to find a lower entropy distribution.
- kgwgk 9y agoI think that if the power law cannot be integrated on [0,infinity), it cannot be integrated on (0,infinity) either.
