The random matrix uniformly distributed over the set of all m-by-n matrices over a finite field plays an important role in many branches of information theory. In this paper a generalization of this random matrix, called k-good random…
We review the ideas of how random matrix theory has to be properly applied to quantum physics; particularly we focus on how the spectrum has to be properly prepared and the random matrix correctly identified before the random matrix and the…
This paper extends the framework of randomised matrix multiplication to a coarser partition and proposes an algorithm as a complement to the classical algorithm, especially when the optimal probability distribution of the latter one is…
This paper examines the problem of locating outlier columns in a large, otherwise low-rank matrix, in settings where {}{the data} are noisy, or where the overall matrix has missing elements. We propose a randomized two-step inference…
Given a matrix U, using a deterministic method, we extract a "large" submatrix of U'(whose columns are obtained by normalizing those of U) and estimate its smallest and largest singular value. We apply this result to the study of contact…
Randomized algorithms provide solutions to two ubiquitous problems: (1) the distributed calculation of a principal component analysis or singular value decomposition of a highly rectangular matrix, and (2) the distributed calculation of a…
We present a uniform methodology for computing with finitely generated matrix groups over any infinite field. As one application, we completely solve the problem of deciding finiteness in this class of groups. We also present an algorithm…
The Restricted Invertibility problem is the problem of selecting the largest subset of columns of a given matrix $X$, while keeping the smallest singular value of the extracted submatrix above a certain threshold. In this paper, we address…
We use a cluster ensemble to determine the number of clusters, k, in a group of data. A consensus similarity matrix is formed from the ensemble using multiple algorithms and several values for k. A random walk is induced on the graph…
Let A, B, C, D be given finite sets of pairs of n-by-n complex matrices. We describe an algorithm to determine, with finitely many computations, whether there is a single unitary matrix U such that each pair of matrices in A is unitarily…
How many random entries of an n by m, rank r matrix are necessary to reconstruct the matrix within an accuracy d? We address this question in the case of a random matrix with bounded rank, whereby the observed entries are chosen uniformly…
We consider so-called squaring the square-puzzles where a given square (or rectangle) should be dissected into smaller squares. For a specific instance of such problems we demonstrate that a mathematically rigorous solution can be quite…
We investigate the implications of free probability for random matrices. From rules for calculating all possible joint moments of two free random matrices, we develop a notion of partial freeness which is quantified by the breakdown of…
We study the spectrum of a random matrix, whose elements depend on the Euclidean distance between points randomly distributed in space. This problem is widely studied in the context of the Instantaneous Normal Modes of fluids and is…
