What can we say about $\mathbb{E}[\mathrm{tr}A^{1/2}]$ for $A=\frac{1}{C}\sum_{i=1}^\infty c_i \alpha_i\alpha_i^\top \in\mathbb{R}^{m\times m}$?

Suppose we are given a summable sequence $(c_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ with $\sum_{i=1}^\infty c_i = C<\infty$ and independent $m$-dimensional, standard Gaussian vectors $\alpha_i\sim\mathcal{N}(0,I_m)$,...

Spectrum of Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse multiplied by a constant

Consider a random rectangular matrix $X\in\mathbb{R}^{N\times P}$ where each entry is drawn from iid distribution with mean $m$ and variance $s^2$, and denote $X^+$ the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse. ...

Distribution of eigenvalues of a Wishart matrix

Is there a known expression for the eigenvalue distribution of a matrix of the form $$\sum_{i=1}^n k_ia_ia_i^T$$ where $a_i \in \mathcal{R}^m$, with $n > m$, $a_i \sim \mathcal{N}(0,\Sigma)$ and $...

Asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of sum of two i.i.d random matrices with Marchenko Pastur distributed eigenvalues?

Is there a method using random matrix theory and NOT using free probability to determine the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of the random matrix $\mathbf{M}=\mathbf{X}_1+ \mathbf{X}_2$? where: $\...

Semicircle law universality elsewhere

Wigner's semicircle distribution is: $$f(x)=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{4-x^2}, \ \ -2\leq x\leq 2.$$ Under reasonable conditions, the rescaled eigenvalue density of random symmetric matrices $M_n$ follows ...

On a random matrix construction

Given a symmetric matrix $M\in\Bbb Z^{n\times n}$ or rank $r$ with absolute value of any entry bound by $2^{b^2-1}-1$ and maximum eigenvalue at most $\lambda$. We consider the set $\mathcal T_b$ of $\...
