Existence of a matrix with bounded entries and large smallest singular value

Is the following statement true? For all $n$ large enough, there exists an $M_n \in [-1,1]^{n \times n}$ such that the smallest singular value of $M_n$, $\sigma_n(M_n) \gtrsim \sqrt{n}$. If $n$ is ...

On full rank submatrices of a construction

Take two matrices $T_1$ and $T_2$ in $\mathbb Z^{n\times n}$ with entries uniformly in $[-b,b]\cap\mathbb Z$ at some $b>0$. The matrices will be of rank $n$ each with probability at least $1-\frac1{...

Probability that random Bernoulli matrix is full rank

This is probably known already, but I could not find a quick argument. Let $M$ be an $n\times m$ binary matrix with iid Bernoulli$(1/2)$ entries, and $n>m$. Tikhomirov recently settled that the ...

Number of symmetric matrix with fixed margins

I'm looking for the cardinality of the set of symmetric matrices with entries in $\mathbb{Z}^*$ (the nonnegative integers) and fixed margins $\mathbf{k}=(k_1,k_2,...,k_q)$. I've also seen them called ...

Distribution of min/max row sum of matrix with i.i.d. uniform random variables

Given a $n\times n$ symmetric random matrix such that all diagonal elements are all fixed as $1$. all elements in upper triangle (excluding the diagonal) are i.i.d. uniform random variables ...

On rank of random $0/1$ matrices

It is known that a $0/1$ matrix picked from uniform distribution from $\{0,1\}^{n\times n}$ is non-singular with probability $1-o(1)$. Fix an integer $t$. Consider a random matrix formed the ...

Worst case difference in rank by column-row swapping

Given a matrix $m\in\{-1,+1\}^{n\times n}$. Consider $m^\sigma$ to be collection of all matrices obtained from $m$ by permuting rows and columns. Consider $\mathscr{M}[m^\sigma]$ to be collection of ...

A simple proof for a theorem of Szekeres and Turán

Szekeres and Turán found in 1937 a formula for the sum of the squares and the sum of the fourth powers of determinants of all $n$ by $n$ matrices with $\pm 1$ entries. (The sum of squares case follows ...

The Fourier Transform of taking Eigenvalues

The purpose of this question is to ask about the Fourier transform of the map which associate to an $n$ by $n$ matrix its $n$ eigenvalues, or some function of the $n$ eigenvalues. The main motivation ...
