Class of covariance matrices invariant under permutations

I am reading a paper on covariance matrix estimation, and in this paper is introduced a class of covariance matrices: \begin{equation} U(q, c_0(p),M)=\{\Sigma: \sigma_{ii}\leq M,\quad \max_j\sum_{j=1}^...

Eigenvalues of random matrices are measurable functions

I have read that if a random matrix is hermitian then its eigenvalues are continuous, hence also measurable. If the random matrix is not hermitian, the eigenvalues are not continuous in some cases. ...

How can I prove a randomly generated matrix has distinct non-zero eigenvalues?

Consider the following $M×M$ matrix $$ \mathbf A=\sum_{k=1}^K =a_k \mathbf h_k \mathbf h_k^H,(M≥K) $$ where $a_k$'s are real values and $h_k$'s are $M×1$ randomly generated vectors, e.g., complex ...

Limit law of eigenvalue of random matrix with mean different to 0

If $X$ denotes a $m \times n$ random matrix whose entries are independent identically distributed random variables with mean $\mu$ and $\sigma^2 < \infty$, let $$Y = X X^T$$ with $X^T$ the ...

Positive definiteness of matrix

This question is about the positive definiteness of a (non-random) matrix that is defined using random variables as follows: We fix the vector $v=(1,1)$ (yet, it seems the final result does not ...

Eigenvalues of random graphs

At time $t=0$, let $G_n(V,E)$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $m < n$ edges. Then there exists a unique symmetric adjacency matrix $A_n$ associated with $G_n(V,E)$, defined as follows: $a_{ij} = 1$...

Eigenvalues of random matrix conditional on positive definiteness

Consider the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble, considered as a probability measure $\mu$ on the space of real symmetric matrices. Let $\mu|PD$ denote this measure conditioned on the event that the matrix ...

Expected value of the largest singular value of a random matrix with entries in $N (0,1)$

Given a matrix $A \in \mathbb R^{n \times n}$ whose entries are i.i.d. $N(0,1)$, what is the expected value of its largest singular value? Equivalently, what is the expected value of the largest ...

Eigenvectors of a perturbed reducible stochastic matrix

Let $Q$ be a $n\times n$ reducible stochastic matrix. Let $J$ be such that $[J]_{ij}={1 \over n}$. Now for a small positive constant $\alpha\in [0,1]$, consider the matrix $$\tilde{Q}\,=\,(1-\alpha)...

Eigenvalues of Random Regular Bipartite Graphs

I am looking for a way of getting a good estimate of the eigenvalues of random bipartite d-regular graphs. The literature has very precise values the proofs of which are very involved and since I am ...

Eigenvalues of permutations of a real matrix: how complex can they be?

This is sort of complementary to this thread. I’ll repeat the definitions here: For a matrix $M\in GL(n,\mathbb R)$, consider the $n!$ matrices obtained by permutations of the rows (say) of $M$ and ...

Eigenvalues of permutations of a real matrix: can they all be real?

For a matrix $M\in GL(n,\mathbb R)$, consider the $n!$ matrices obtained by permutations of the rows (say) of $M$ and define the total spectrum $TS(M)$ as the union of all their spectra (counting ...
