چکیده

Take XN to be a symmetric matrix with real independent (modulo the symmetry constraint) equidistributed entries with law P and denote (λ1, · · · , λN) its eigenvalues. Then, Wigner [14] has shown that, if ∫ xdP (x) is finite, N−1 ∑N i=1 δλi/ √ N converges in expectation towards the semi-circle distribution. In this paper, we consider the case where P has a heavy tail and belong to the domain of attraction of an α-stable law for α ∈]0, 2[. We show the convergence of N−1 ∑N i=1 λi/N 1 α towards a law μα. We characterize and study μα, showing in particular that it is a symmetric measure with heavy tail.

Heavy-tailed random matrices

We discuss non-Gaussian random matrices whose elements are random variables with heavy-tailed probability distributions. In probability theory heavy tails of the distributions describe rare but violent events which usually have dominant influence on the statistics. They also completely change universal properties of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of random matrices. We concentrate here on the uni...

Sharp Nonasymptotic Bounds on the Norm of Random Matrices with Independent Entries by Afonso

This bound is optimal in the sense that a matching lower bound holds under mild assumptions, and the constants are sufficiently sharp that we can often capture the precise edge of the spectrum. Analogous results are obtained for rectangular matrices and for more general subgaussian or heavy-tailed distributions of the entries, and we derive tail bounds in addition to bounds on the expected norm...

Open Problem: Restricted Eigenvalue Condition for Heavy Tailed Designs

The restricted eigenvalue (RE) condition characterizes the sample complexity of accurate recovery in the context of high-dimensional estimators such as Lasso and Dantzig selector (Bickel et al., 2009). Recent work has shown that random design matrices drawn from any thin-tailed (subGaussian) distributions satisfy the RE condition with high probability, when the number of samples scale as the sq...

Central limit theorems for linear statistics of heavy tailed random matrices

We show central limit theorems (CLT) for the linear statistics of symmetric matrices with independent heavy tailed entries, including entries in the domain of attraction of α-stable laws and entries with moments exploding with the dimension, as in the adjacency matrices of Erdös-Rényi graphs. For the second model, we also prove a central limit theorem of the moments of its empirical eigenvalues...

Spectral Measure of Heavy Tailed Band and Covariance Random Matrices

We study the asymptotic behavior of the appropriately scaled and possibly perturbed spectral measure μ̂ of large random real symmetric matrices with heavy tailed entries. Specifically, consider the N ×N symmetric matrix YσN whose (i, j) entry is σ( i N , j N )xij where (xij , 1 ≤ i ≤ j < ∞) is an infinite array of i.i.d real variables with common distribution in the domain of attraction of an α-...
