Random Gaussian matrices and Hafnian estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the behavior of the Barvinok estimator of the hafnian of even dimension, symmetric matrices with nonnegative entries. We introduce a condition under which the Barvinok estimator achieves subexponential errors, and show that this condition is almost optimal. Using that hafnians count the number of perfect matchings in graphs, we conclude that Barvinok’s estimator gives a polynomialtime algorithm for the approximate (up to subexponential errors) evaluation of the number of perfect matchings.

Singular values of Gaussian matrices and permanent estimators
We present estimates on the small singular values of a class of matrices with independent Gaussian entries and inhomogeneous variance profile, satisfying a broad-connectedness condition. Using these estimates and concentration of measure for the spectrum of Gaussian matrices with independent entries, we prove that for a large class of graphs satisfying an appropriate expansion property, the Bar...
متن کاملPfaffians, Hafnians and Products of Real Linear Functionals
We prove pfaffian and hafnian versions of Lieb’s inequalities on determinants and permanents of positive semi-definite matrices. We use the hafnian inequality to improve the lower bound of Révész and Sarantopoulos on the norm of a product of linear functionals on a real Euclidean space (this subject is sometimes called the ‘real linear polarization constant’ problem). -

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 کاملLimiting Properties of Empirical Bayes Estimators in a Two-Factor Experiment under Inverse Gaussian Model
The empirical Bayes estimators of treatment effects in a factorial experiment were derived and their asymptotic properties were explored. It was shown that they were asymptotically optimal and the estimator of the scale parameter had a limiting gamma distribution while the estimators of the factor effects had a limiting multivariate normal distribution. A Bootstrap analysis was performed to ill...
