How to prove that $\|A^tv\|_2 \leq \|Av\|_2^t$ for every $0<t<1$? [closed]

Consider a unit norm $\|V\|_2=1$ and a symmetric matrix $A$. I wish to prove that $\|A^tv\|_2 \leq \|Av\|_2^t$ for every $0<t<1$. My belief is that this is true is motivated by empirical ...

What is the distribution of determinant of multi multiplication of some Gaussian matrices?

I have a square matric $H = (ABC)(ABC)^H$ where $A$ and $C$ are complex Gaussian matrices with some correlation matrices and $B$ is a diagonal matrix with entries $e^{j \theta}$ on the diagonal such ...

Expected size of determinant of $AA^T$ for non-square random $A$

If $A$ is chosen uniformly at random over all possible $m \times n$ (0,1)-matrices, what is the expected size of the absolute value of the determinant of $AA^T$. We can assume $m < n$ and all ...

Probability of a large random integer Matrix to have zero determinant

Suppose we have a matrix $A \in \{0,1\}^{n \times n}$ where $$A_{ij} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{with probability} \quad p\\ 0 &\text{with probability} \quad 1-p\end{cases}$$ I would like to ...

Determinant of a random row stochastic matrix

Does anyone know anything about the determinant of a random $n\times n$ row stochastic matrix? What I have in mind is that the rows are independently selected from the uniform distribution on the unit ...
