Let $X_N$ be an $N\ts N$ random symmetric matrix with independent equidistributed entries. If the law $P$ of the entries has a finite second moment, it was shown by Wigner \cite{wigner} that the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of…

We obtain several upper and lower bounds for the numerical radius of sectorial matrices. We also develop several numerical radius inequalities of the sum, product and commutator of sectorial matrices. The inequalities obtained here are…
In distributed optimization or Nash-equilibrium seeking over directed graphs, it is crucial to find a matrix norm under which the disagreement of individual agents' states contracts. In existing results, the matrix norm is usually defined…
We use free probability to compute the limiting spectral properties of the harmonic mean of $n$ i.i.d. Wishart random matrices $\mathbf{W}_i$ whose limiting aspect ratio is $\gamma \in (0,1)$ when $\mathbb{E}[\mathbf{W}_i] = \mathbf{I}$. We…
We obtain a sharp lower bound on the isoperimetric deficit of a general polygon in terms of the variance of its side lengths, the variance of its radii, and its deviation from being convex. Our technique involves a functional minimization…
Spectrahedra are affine-linear sections of the cone $\mathcal{P}_n$ of positive semidefinite symmetric $n\times n$-matrices. We consider random spectrahedra that are obtained by intersecting~$\mathcal{P}_n$ with the affine-linear space…

Let $A = [a_{i j}]_{i,j=1}^n$ be a nonnegative matrix with $a_{1 1} = 0$. We prove some lower bounds for the spread $s(A)$ of $A$ that is defined as the maximum distance between any two eigenvalues of $A$. If $A$ has only two distinct…
Consider a square random matrix with independent and identically distributed entries of mean zero and unit variance. We show that as the dimension tends to infinity, the spectral radius is equivalent to the square root of the dimension in…
We consider real symmetric and complex Hermitian random matrices with the additional symmetry $h_{xy}=h_{N-x,N-y}$. The matrix elements are independent (up to the fourfold symmetry) and not necessarily identically distributed. This ensemble…
Consider a random graph $G$ of size $N$ constructed according to a \textit{graphon} $w \, : \, [0,1]^{2} \mapsto [0,1]$ as follows. First embed $N$ vertices $V = \{v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_N\}$ into the interval $[0,1]$, then for each $i < j$…

Random sampling of large Markov matrices with a tunable spectral gap, a nonuniform stationary distribution, and a nondegenerate limiting empirical spectral distribution (ESD) is useful. Fix $c>0$ and $p>0$. Let $A_n$ be the adjacency matrix…
Correlations between energy levels can help distinguish whether a many-body system is of integrable or chaotic nature. The study of short-range and long-range spectral correlations generally involves quantities which are very different,…
