Random matrix with power law decay in eigenvalues

What positive semi-definite random matrices have (roughly) $n^{-\alpha}$ for $n^{th}$ singular value? The power law decay need not be exact. I want to find random matrix ensembles that naturally ...

Using gradient descent in probability case

Suppose we have i.i.d. samples $x_i\sim N(0,\Sigma)$ and $y_i\sim x_i^T\omega^*+\xi_i,\xi_i\sim N(0,1)$ where $\omega^*$ is the fixed point of: $$\omega_{i+1} = \omega_i − \eta\nabla_\omega f(\omega_i,...

Matrix positive semi-definite

We construct a non-random matrix using random variables as follows: We fix the vector $v=(1,1).$ Let $X$ be a $\mathbb R^2$-valued random variable such that $X$ is distributed according to $$d\mu(...

Random matrix is positive

This is a follow up question on my previous question here that was on solved in the deterministic setting by Denis Serre, when the perturbation can be separated. Therefore, I decided to split the ...

On the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality for trace function of random matrices

In the deterministic case, for two matrices $A$ and $B$ with appropriate matrices, we know that $$tr((A^{T}B)^{2})\leq tr(A^{T}A)tr(B^{T}B)$$ which is the trace form of Cauchy-Schwarz-Inequality (CSI)....

Trivial zeros of $\zeta$ from limit characteristic functions of random matrices

Reviewing some of the literature on random matrices I have seen several studies and results on characteristic polynomials of random matrices, usually of fixed size/degree $N$. Zeros then are either on ...

Modified Wigner semicircle law

The Wigner semicircle law states that for a random GOE-matrix $M^N \in \mathbb{R}^{N \times N}$ in the $N \rightarrow \infty$ limit for any $f \in C^b(\mathbb{R})$ $$\lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}\frac{...

One-sided Talagrand concentration inequality for empirical processes

Let $\mathcal{F}$ denote a function class. A classic result by Talagrand states that \begin{align*} \mathbb{P}\bigg\{\sup_{f\in\mathcal{F}}\big|\sum_{i=1}^nf(X_i)-\mathbb{E}\big[\sum_{i=1}^nf(X_i)\...

Construction of point process having same pair correlations as GUE

The distribution of the pair correlations of the eigenvalues of the GUE satisfies (in the limit, when being normalized appropriately) $$ g(u) = 1 - \left(\frac{\sin(\pi u)}{\pi u}\right)^2 + \delta(u)....

Matroid rank decay

Consider a uniform vector matroid $M(0)=U_{m,n}$ of rank $m$ with $n$ points, $n>m>2$ (you can think of it as a set of $n$ points in general position in vector space $F^m$ for some large field $...

Lyapunov exponents of dual / adjoint / transpose random dynamical system (RDS)

Consider the the state of a system at time $n$, $X_n$, as the action of a product of i.i.d. $d\times d$ random matrices acting on a $d$ dimensional vector $X_0$, so we have $$X_n = A_n \cdots A_1X_0.$...

Bounds on the eigenvalues of a random binary matrix

Consider $A$, a random binary matrix of zeros and ones in $\mathbb{R}^{{M\times N}}$, and $M>N$. We assume that $P(a_{i,j}=0)=P(a_{i,j}=1)=0.5$ (although I appreciate any advice on the case of non-...
