Abstract

For a large class of random matrices AA and vectors bb, we show that linear systems formed from the pair (A,b)(A,b) are controllable with high probability. Despite the fact that minimal controllability problems are, in general, NP-hard, we establish universality results for the minimal controllability of random systems. Our proof relies on the recent developments of Nguyen-Tao-Vu concerning gaps between eigenvalues of random matrices.
