Componentwise condition numbers of random sparse matrices

Numerical Analysis 2008-07-08 v2 Probability

Abstract

We prove an O(log n) bound for the expected value of the logarithm of the componentwise (and, a fortiori, the mixed) condition number of a random sparse n x n matrix. As a consequence, small bounds on the average loss of accuracy for triangular linear systems follow.
