From Random Matrices to Stochastic Operators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose that classical random matrix models are properly viewed as finite difference schemes for stochastic differential operators. Three particular stochastic operators commonly arise, each associated with a familiar class of local eigenvalue behavior. The stochastic Airy operator displays soft edge behavior, associated with the Airy kernel. The stochastic Bessel operator displays hard edge behavior, associated with the Bessel kernel. The article concludes with suggestions for a stochastic sine operator, which would display bulk behavior, associated with the sine kernel.

Double-null operators and the investigation of Birkhoff's theorem on discrete lp spaces
Doubly stochastic matrices play a fundamental role in the theory of majorization. Birkhoff's theorem explains the relation between $ntimes n$ doubly stochastic matrices and permutations. In this paper, we first introduce double-null operators and we will find some important properties of them. Then with the help of double-null operators, we investigate Birkhoff's theorem for descreate $l^p$ sp...
متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...
متن کاملStochastic Galerkin Matrices
We investigate the structural, spectral and sparsity properties of Stochastic Galerkin matrices as arise in the discretization of linear differential equations with random coefficient functions. These matrices are characterized as the Galerkin representation of polynomial multiplication operators. In particular, it is shown that the global Galerkin matrix associated with complete polynomials ca...
متن کاملSpectral Properties of Random Non-self-adjoint Matrices and Operators
We describe some numerical experiments which determine the degree of spectral instability of medium size randomly generated matrices which are far from self-adjoint. The conclusion is that the eigenvalues are likely to be intrinsically uncomputable for similar matrices of a larger size. We also describe a stochastic family of bounded operators in infinite dimensions for almost all of which the ...
متن کاملGeneralized Doubly Stochastic Matrices and Linear Preservers
A real or complex n × n matrix is generalized doubly stochastic if all of its row sums and column sums equal one. Denote by V the linear space spanned by such matrices. We study the reducibility of V under the group Γ of linear operators of the form A 7→ PAQ, where P and Q are n×n permutation matrices. Using this result, we show that every linear operator φ : V → V mapping the set of generalize...
