On the singular values of Gaussian random matrices
نویسنده
چکیده
This short note is about the singular value distribution of Gaussian random matrices (i.e. Gaussian Ensemble or GE) of size N. We present a new approach for deriving the p.d.f. of the singular values directly from the singular value decomposition (SVD) form, which also takes advantage of the rotational invariance of GE and the Lie algebra of the orthogonal group. Our method is direct and more general than the conventional approach that relies on the Wishart Ensemble and the combination of QR and Cholesky decomposition. Directly based on this p.d.f., and its interpretation by statistical mechanics, we give the physics proof that in the thermodynamic limit (N → ∞), the singular value distribution satisfies the quadrant law, similar to the celebrated semi-circle law established by Wigner more than 40 years ago for the spectral distribution of Gaussian Orthogonal (or Unitary) Ensembles. This quadrant law was also proved earlier and mathematically more rigorously by some authors based on probabilistic estimations and the moment method, but not directly from the p.d.f. formula. © 2001 Elsevier Science Inc.

The Probabilistic Estimates on the Largest and Smallest q-Singular Values of Pre-Gaussian Random Matrices
We study the q-singular values of random matrices with pre-Gaussian entries defined in terms of the `q-quasinorm with 0 < q ≤ 1. Mainly we study the decay of the lower and upper tail probabilities of the largest q-singular value s 1 , when the number of rows of the matrices becomes very large. Furthermore, we also give probabilistic estimates for the smallest q-singular value of pre-Gaussian ra...

متن کاملSingular 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 کاملWeak log-majorization inequalities of singular values between normal matrices and their absolute values
This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$. Some applications to these inequalities are also given. In addi...

Abstract. We study the q-singular values of random matrices with preGaussian entries defined in terms of the q-quasinorm with 0 < q ≤ 1. In this paper, we mainly consider the decay of the lower and upper tail probabilities of the largest q-singular value s 1 , when the number of rows of the matrices becomes very large. Based on the results in probabilistic estimates on the largest q-singular va...
