Let $X_1,..., X_N\in\R^n$ be independent centered random vectors with log-concave distribution and with the identity as covariance matrix. We show that with overwhelming probability at least $1 - 3 \exp(-c\sqrt{n}\r)$ one has $ \sup_{x\in…

We consider the asymptotic fluctuation behavior of the largest eigenvalue of certain sample covariance matrices in the asymptotic regime where both dimensions of the corresponding data matrix go to infinity. More precisely, let $X$ be an…

In this paper we prove the universality of covariance matrices of the form $H_{N\times N}={X}^{\dagger}X$ where $X$ is an ${M\times N}$ rectangular matrix with independent real valued entries $x_{ij}$ satisfying $\mathbb{E}x_{ij}=0$ and…

Except the Toeplitz and Hankel matrices, the common patterned matrices for which the limiting spectral distribution (LSD) are known to exist, share a common property--the number of times each random variable appears in the matrix is (more…
