Dec 12, 2015 at 20:04 comment added Turbo @ViditNanda that is correct interpretation (a parametrization would solve deterministically but may be some other cleverer way as well (which should technically be called paremeterization as well if it works deterministically))
Dec 12, 2015 at 19:34 comment added Vidit Nanda @kodlu I think it is pretty clear what is being asked. Q1: given $n^2$ integer of absolute value smaller than $d$, what are the odds that the matrix they generate has rank $r$? And Q2, what is an efficient algorithm for uniformly sampling from the set of $n \times n$ matrices with entries < $d$ and rank $r$? Deterministic only means that the algorithm should not be probabilistic in the sense of giving the right answer only with probability $> 1 - \epsilon$ for a priori choice of $\epsilon$.

Dec 12, 2015 at 14:05 comment added kodlu I think he means choose $a_{1,1},a_{1,2},\ldots,a_{n,n}$ uniformly from {$-d,\ldots,-1$}$\cup${$1,\ldots,d$} but then he talks about deterministic sampling in the comments, which is puzzling.
Dec 12, 2015 at 11:59 comment added Federico Poloni $[-d,d]\not\subseteq[0,0]$ does not look like well-formed notation either, to me, and I still don't understand what you mean by it.

Dec 12, 2015 at 8:34 comment added Turbo @FedericoPoloni I tried to eradicate BloodPuddings degenerate condition
Dec 12, 2015 at 7:29 comment added Federico Poloni What do you mean by "sample $n^2$ integers in $0\subsetneq[-d,d]$"? Is there a typo in your notation? It doesn't seem well-formed even syntactically, because $0$ is not a subset.
Dec 11, 2015 at 9:08 comment added Set that I don't know
Dec 11, 2015 at 9:07 comment added Turbo @BloodPudding that should help in probability calculation though right?

Dec 11, 2015 at 9:06 comment added Turbo @BloodPudding that is true but that does not help getting away to sample deterministically.
Dec 11, 2015 at 9:04 comment added Set The parametrization is the Grassmanian

Dec 11, 2015 at 8:59 comment added Set I'm assuming this is for $d\neq 0$.
