We derive upper and lower bounds on the determinant of an exponential matrix. They can be transformed into corresponding bounds for the determinant of a univariate Gaussian matrix.
We give new lower and upper bounds on the permanent of a doubly stochastic matrix. Combined with previous work, this improves on the deterministic approximation factor for the permanent. We also give a combinatorial application of the lower…
This paper is concerned with the problem of approximating the determinant of A for a large sparse symmetric positive definite matrix A. It is shown that an efficient solution of this problem is obtained by using a sparse approximate inverse…
We give upper and lower bounds on the determinant of a perturbation of the identity matrix or, more generally, a perturbation of a nonsingular diagonal matrix. The matrices considered are, in general, diagonally dominant. The lower bounds…
We prove asymptotic 0-1 Laws satisfied by diagrams of unimodal sequences of positive integers. These diagrams consist of columns of squares in the plane, and the upper boundary is called the shape. For various types, we show that, as the…
We make progress towards characterizing the algebraic matroid of the determinantal variety defined by the minors of fixed size of a matrix of variables. Our main result is a novel family of base sets of the matroid, which characterizes the…
We study {\em sign-restricted matrices} (SRMs), a class of rectangular $(0, \pm 1)$-matrices generalizing the alternating sign matrices (ASMs). In an SRM each partial column sum, starting from row 1, equals 0 or 1, and each partial row sum,…
A determinantal approximation is obtained for the permanent of a doubly stochastic matrix. For moderate-deviation matrix sequences, the asymptotic relative error is of order $O(n^{-1})$.
We prove an upper bound on sums of squares of minors of {+1, -1} matrices. The bound is sharp for Hadamard matrices, a result due to de Launey and Levin (2009), but our proof is simpler. We give several corollaries relevant to minors of…
In this article we derive, using standard methods of Toeplitz theory, an asymptotic formula for certain large minors of Toeplitz matrices. D. Bump and P. Diaconis obtained the same asymptotics using representation theory, with an answer…
The extremal function $ex(n, P)$ is the maximum possible number of ones in any 0-1 matrix with $n$ rows and $n$ columns that avoids $P$. A 0-1 matrix $P$ is called minimally non-linear if $ex(n, P) = \omega(n)$ but $ex(n, P') = O(n)$ for…
This paper is part of series on self-contained papers in which a large part, if not the full extent, of the asymptotic limit theory of summands of independent random variables is exposed. Each paper of the series may be taken as review…
The purpose of this paper is to describe asymptotic formulas for determinants of a sum of finite Toeplitz and Hankel matrices with singular generating functions. The formulas are similar to those of the analogous problem for finite Toeplitz…
We study largest singular values of large random matrices, each with mean of a fixed rank $K$. Our main result is a limit theorem as the number of rows and columns approach infinity, while their ratio approaches a positive constant. It…
We investigate the number of symmetric matrices of non-negative integers with zero diagonal such that each row sum is the same. Equivalently, these are zero diagonal symmetric contingency tables with uniform margins, or loop-free regular…
In this paper, we study the class of relatively $D$-stable matrices and provide the conditions, sufficient for relative $D$-stability. We generalize the well-known Hadamard inequality, to provide upper bounds for the determinants of…
We introduce a new notion of the determinant, called symmetrized determinant, for a square matrix with the entries in an associative algebra $\AA$. The monomial expansion of the symmetrized determinant is obtained from the standard…
In this short note, we compute the precise asymptotics for the number of contingency tables with non-uniform margins. More precisely, for parameter $n,\delta, B,C>0$, we consider the set of matrices whose first $[n^\delta]$ rows and columns…
Motivated by recent works on statistics of matrices over sets of number theoretic interest, we study matrices with entries from arbitrary finite subsets $\mathcal A$ of finite rank multiplicative groups infields of characteristic zero. We…
Suppose that A_1,\dots, A_N are independent random matrices whose atoms are iid copies of a random variable \xi of mean zero and variance one. It is known from the works of Newman et. al. in the late 80s that when \xi is gaussian then…
