Let $\mathbf X=(X_{jk})$ denote a $n\times p$ random matrix with entries $X_{jk}$, which are independent for $1\le j\le n, 1\le k\le p$. Let $n,p$ tend to infinity such that $\frac np=y+O(n^{-1})\in(0,1]$. For those values of $n,p$ we…

We consider the limiting spectral distribution of matrices of the form $\frac{1}{2b_{n}+1} (R + X)(R + X)^{*}$, where $X$ is an $n\times n$ band matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$ and $R$ is a non random band matrix of bandwidth $b_{n}$. We show…
