We show several ways to round a real matrix to an integer one such that the rounding errors in all rows and columns as well as the whole matrix are less than one. This is a classical problem with applications in many fields, in particular,…
In this note we describe the singular locus of diagonally-dominant Hermitian matrices with nonnegative diagonal entries over the reals, the complex numbers, and the quaternions. This yields explicit expressions for the probability that such…
We show that a perturbation of any fixed square matrix D by a random unitary matrix is well invertible with high probability. A similar result holds for perturbations by random orthogonal matrices; the only notable exception is when D is…
We give a simple proof of the matrix Spencer conjecture up to poly-logarithmic rank: given symmetric $d \times d$ matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_n$ each with $\|A_i\|_{\mathsf{op}} \leq 1$ and rank at most $n/\log^3 n$, one can efficiently find…
We prove that the probability $P_N$ for a real random Gaussian $N\times N\times 2$ tensor to be of real rank $N$ is $P_N=(\Gamma((N+1)/2))^N/G(N+1)$, where $\Gamma(x)$, $G(x)$ denote the gamma and Barnes $G$-functions respectively. This is…
There has been significant interest in studying the asymptotics of certain generalised moments, called the moments of moments, of characteristic polynomials of random Haar-distributed unitary and symplectic matrices, as the matrix size $N$…
Consider $q_n$ a random pointed quadrangulation chosen equally likely among the pointed quadrangulations with $n$ faces. In this paper we show that, when $n$ goes to $+\infty$, $q_n$ suitably normalized converges weakly in a certain sense…
We study the lower tail behavior of the least singular value of an $n\times n$ random matrix $M_n := M+N_n$, where $M$ is a fixed complex matrix with operator norm at most $\exp(n^{c})$ and $N_n$ is a random matrix, each of whose entries is…
We study invertibility of matrices of the form $D+R$ where $D$ is an arbitrary symmetric deterministic matrix, and $R$ is a symmetric random matrix whose independent entries have continuous distributions with bounded densities. We show that…
Doubly non-negative matrices arise naturally in many setting including Markov random fields (positively banded graphical models) and in the convergence analysis of Markov chains. In this short note, we settle a recent conjecture by C.R.…
In this note, we compute the probability that a $k\times n$ matrix can be extended to an $n\times n$ invertible matrix over $\F_q[x]$, which turns out to be $(1-q^{k-n})(1-q^{k-1-n})...(1-q^{1-n})$. Connections with Dirichlet's density…
Let $A\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a random matrix with independent entries, and suppose that the entries are "uniformly anticoncentrated" in the sense that there is a constant $\varepsilon>0$ such that each entry $a_{ij}$ satisfies…
In this paper, we study the condition number of a random Toeplitz matrix. Since a Toeplitz matrix is a diagonal constant matrix, its rows or columns cannot be stochastically independent. This situation does not permit us to use the classic…
Random matrices arise in many mathematical contexts, and it is natural to ask about the properties that such matrices satisfy. If we choose a matrix with integer entries at random, for example, what is the probability that it will have a…
Let A be an n by n random matrix with iid entries taken from the p-adic integers or Z/NZ. Then under mild non-degeneracy conditions the cokernel of A has a universal probability distribution. In particular, the p-part of an iid random…
Let $M_n$ be an $n\times n$ signed random combinatorial matrix whose rows are independent and uniformly distributed over the set of $\{-1,0,1\}$-vectors with exactly $n/2$ zero coordinates. Despite the dependence induced by the row…
Given a prime $p$ and a positive integer $k$, let $\mathrm{M}_{n}(\mathbb{Z}/p^{k}\mathbb{Z})$ be the ring of $n \times n$ matrices over $\mathbb{Z}/p^{k}\mathbb{Z}$. We consider the number of solutions $X \in…
In this paper, we present a new method for the analysis of piecewise dynamical systems that are similar to the Collatz conjecture in regard to certain properties of the commutator of their sub-functions. We use the fact that the commutator…
In this paper, we present sufficient conditions to guarantee the invertibility of rational circulant matrices with any given size. These sufficient conditions consist of linear combinations of the entries in the first row with integer…
We show that the spectral radius of an $N\times N$ random symmetric matrix with i.i.d. bounded centered but non-symmetrically distributed entries is bounded from below by $ 2 \*\sigma - o(N^{-6/11+\epsilon}), $ where $\sigma^2 $ is the…
