| contents | Motivated by the inverse moment problem for convex polytopes, we study the pushforward to a line of the Lebesgue measure restricted to a convex $d$-polytope. Such pushforwards are spline densities of degree $d-1$, and their moments lead naturally to a family of ``higher'' univariate Prony systems, with the classical Prony system recovered when $d=0$. We describe the corresponding fixed-knot spline cone, give an explicit amplitude recovery criterion, record the rational generating function and recurrence satisfied by the normalized moments, and identify the directional moment variety with the Hankel determinantal variety appearing in the theory of moment varieties of measures on polytopes. |
