This paper focuses on the non-asymptotic concentration of the heteroskedastic Wishart-type matrices. Suppose $Z$ is a $p_1$-by-$p_2$ random matrix and $Z_{ij} \sim N(0,\sigma_{ij}^2)$ independently, we prove the expected spectral norm of…

We consider a class of random banded Hessenberg matrices with independent entries having identical distributions along diagonals. The distributions may be different for entries belonging to different diagonals. For a sequence of $n\times n$…

A set of Hamiltonians that are not self-adjoint but have the spectrum of the harmonic oscillator is studied. The eigenvectors of these operators and those of their Hermitian conjugates form a bi-orthogonal system that provides a…

Much effort has been spent on characterizing the spectrum of the non-backtracking matrix of certain classes of graphs, with special emphasis on the leading eigenvalue or the second eigenvector. Much less attention has been paid to the…

We analyze the spectral properties of large, time-lagged correlation matrices using the tools of random matrix theory. We compare predictions of the one-dimensional spectra, based on approaches already proposed in the literature. Employing…

The first paper in this series introduced a new family of nonasymptotic matrix concentration inequalities that sharply capture the spectral properties of very general random matrices in terms of an associated noncommutative model. These…

We formulate a general sufficiency criterion for discreteness of the spectrum of both supersymmmetric and non-su-persymmetric theories with a fermionic contribution. This criterion allows an analysis of Hamiltonians in complete form rather…

We consider the sum of two large Hermitian matrices $A$ and $B$ with a Haar unitary conjugation bringing them into a general relative position. We prove that the eigenvalue density on the scale slightly above the local eigenvalue spacing is…

For a two-parameter family of Jacobi matrices exhibiting first-order spectral phase transitions, we prove discreteness of the spectrum in the positive real axis when the parameters are in one of the transition boundaries. To this end we…

We characterize the relationship between the singular values of a complex Hermitian (resp., real symmetric, complex symmetric) matrix and the singular values of its off-diagonal block. We also characterize the eigenvalues of an Hermitian…

This article undertakes an analysis of the one-dimensional heat equation, wherein the Dirichlet condition is applied at the left end and Neumann condition at the right end. The heat equation is restructured as a non-self-adjoint $2\times 2$…

We give upper and lower bounds for the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix by using its average 2-row sums, and characterize the equality cases if the matrix is irreducible. We also apply these bounds to various nonnegative matrices…

The signed enhanced principal rank characteristic sequence (sepr-sequence) of a given $n \times n$ Hermitian matrix $B$ is the sequence $t_1t_2 \cdots t_n$, where $t_k$ is $\tt A^*$, $\tt A^+$, $\tt A^-$, $\tt N$, $\tt S^*$, $\tt S^+$, or…

Let $X$ be a mixed graph and $\omega=\frac{1+\i \sqrt{3}}{2}$. We write $i\rightarrow j$, if there is an oriented edge from a vertex $v_i$ to another vertex $v_j$, and $i\sim j$ for an un-oriented edge between the vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$.…

We study asymptotic spectral properties of the generalized Hilbert $L$-matrix \[ L_{n}(\nu)=\left(\frac{1}{\max(i,j)+\nu}\right)_{i,j=0}^{n-1}, \] for large order $n$. First, for general $\nu\neq0,-1,-2,\dots$, we deduce the asymptotic…

Given $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices $A_1, \dots, A_m$, the following {\it spectral minimax} property holds: $$\min_{X \in \mathbf{\Delta}_n} \max_{y \in S_m} \sum_{i=1}^m y_iA_i \bullet X=\max_{y \in S_m} \min_{X \in…

Spectral functions of symmetric matrices -- those depending on matrices only through their eigenvalues -- appear often in optimization. A cornerstone variational analytic tool for studying such functions is a formula relating their…

Under the mild trace-norm assumptions we show that the eigenvalues of a generic (non Hermitian) complex perturbation of a Jacobi matrix sequence (not necessarily real) are still distributed as the real-valued function $2\cos t$ on…

Harary and Schwenk posed the problem forty years ago: Which graphs have distinct adjacency eigenvalues? In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an Hermitian matrix with simple spectral radius and distinct…

We give a criterion of asymptotic completeness and provide a representation of the scattering matrix for the scattering couple $(A_{0},A)$, where $A_{0}$ and $A$ are semi-bounded self-adjoint operators in $L^{2}(M,{\mathscr B},m)$ such that…
