Let $M_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ random matrix where each entry is +1 or -1 independently with probability 1/2. Our main result implies that the probability that $M_n$ is singular is at most $(1/\sqrt{2} + o(1))^n$, improving on the previous best…

The limiting behavior of the eigenvalues of the Toeplitz matrices $T_{n}[\sigma]=(\hat{\sigma}(i-j))$, where $0\leq i,j \leq n$, as $n \to \infty$, is investigated in the case of complex valued functions $\sigma$ defined on the unit circle…
