We derive a lower bound on the smallest singular value of a random $d$-regular matrix, that is, the adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular directed graph. More precisely, let $C_1<d< c_1 n/\log^2 n$ and let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the set…

In this work, we consider symmetric random Toeplitz matrices $T_n$ generated by i.i.d. zero mean random variables ${X_k}$ satisfying the moment conditions: $E|X_k|^2=1$ and $\E|X_1|^n \le n^{\sqrt{n}}$ for all $n\ge 3$. We prove that the…

We study the problem of approximating the eigenspectrum of a symmetric matrix $\mathbf A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ with bounded entries (i.e., $\|\mathbf A\|_{\infty} \leq 1$). We present a simple sublinear time algorithm that…

The classic graphical Cheeger inequalities state that if $M$ is an $n\times n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix, then \[ \frac{1-\lambda_{2}(M)}{2}\leq\phi(M)\leq\sqrt{2\cdot(1-\lambda_{2}(M))} \] where…
