We consider a dilute version of the Wigner ensemble of n-dimensional random matrices H such that each row has in average \rho_n non-zero elements. We study asymptotic properties of the spectral norm of H on the scale n^{-2/3} in the limit…

Random-matrix theory helps disentangle signal from noise in large data sets. We analyze rectangular $p \times q$ matrices $W = W_0 + M$ in which the noise $M$ generates a Marchenko-Pastur bulk, whereas the signal $W_0$ injects an extensive…
