Signatura of magic and Latin integer squares: isentropic clans and indexing

Ian Cameron, Adam Rogers, Peter D. Loly (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

The 2010 study of the Shannon entropy of order nine Sudoku and Latin square matrices by Newton and DeSalvo [Proc. Roy. Soc. A 2010] is extended to natural magic and Latin squares up to order nine. We demonstrate that decimal and integer measures of the Singular Value sets, here named SV clans, are a powerful way of comparing different integer squares. Several complete sets of magic and Latin squares are included, including the order eight Franklin subset which is of direct relevance...

Smallest singular value of sparse random matrices

Alexander E. Litvak, Omar Rivasplata (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We extend probability estimates on the smallest singular value of random matrices with independent entries to a class of sparse random matrices. We show that one can relax a previously used condition of uniform boundedness of the variances from below. This allows us to consider matrices with null entries or, more generally, with entries having small variances. Our results do not assume identical distribution of the entries of a random matrix and help to clarify the role of the variances of the entries....

Some Properties of Mittag-Leffler Functions and Matrix-Variate Analogues: A Statistical Perspective

Mathai, A. (2010)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematical Subject Classification 2010:26A33, 33E99, 15A52, 62E15.Mittag-Leffler functions and their generalizations appear in a large variety of problems in different areas. When we move from total differential equations to fractional equations Mittag-Leffler functions come in naturally. Fractional reaction-diffusion problems in physical sciences and general input-output models in other disciplines are some of the examples in this direction. Some basic properties of Mittag-Leffler functions are...

Sparse recovery with pre-Gaussian random matrices

Simon Foucart, Ming-Jun Lai (2010)

Studia Mathematica

For an m × N underdetermined system of linear equations with independent pre-Gaussian random coefficients satisfying simple moment conditions, it is proved that the s-sparse solutions of the system can be found by ℓ₁-minimization under the optimal condition m ≥ csln(eN/s). The main ingredient of the proof is a variation of a classical Restricted Isometry Property, where the inner norm becomes the ℓ₁-norm and the outer norm depends on probability distributions.

The distribution of eigenvalues of randomized permutation matrices

Joseph Najnudel, Ashkan Nikeghbali (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this article we study in detail a family of random matrix ensembles which are obtained from random permutations matrices (chosen at random according to the Ewens measure of parameter θ > 0 ) by replacing the entries equal to one by more general non-vanishing complex random variables. For these ensembles, in contrast with more classical models as the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble, or the Circular Unitary Ensemble, the eigenvalues can be very explicitly computed by using the cycle structure of the permutations....

The local relaxation flow approach to universality of the local statistics for random matrices

László Erdős, Benjamin Schlein, Horng-Tzer Yau, Jun Yin (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We present a generalization of the method of the local relaxation flow to establish the universality of local spectral statistics of a broad class of large random matrices. We show that the local distribution of the eigenvalues coincides with the local statistics of the corresponding Gaussian ensemble provided the distribution of the individual matrix element is smooth and the eigenvalues {xj}j=1N are close to their classical location {γj}j=1N determined by the limiting density of eigenvalues. Under...

The random paving property for uniformly bounded matrices

Joel A. Tropp (2008)

Studia Mathematica

This note presents a new proof of an important result due to Bourgain and Tzafriri that provides a partial solution to the Kadison-Singer problem. The result shows that every unit-norm matrix whose entries are relatively small in comparison with its dimension can be paved by a partition of constant size. That is, the coordinates can be partitioned into a constant number of blocks so that the restriction of the matrix to each block of coordinates has norm less than one half. The original proof of...

The rate of convergence for spectra of GUE and LUE matrix ensembles

Friedrich Götze, Alexander Tikhomirov (2005)

Open Mathematics

We obtain optimal bounds of order O(n −1) for the rate of convergence to the semicircle law and to the Marchenko-Pastur law for the expected spectral distribution functions of random matrices from the GUE and LUE, respectively.

The Wigner semi-circle law and the Heisenberg group

Jacques Faraut, Linda Saal (2007)

Banach Center Publications

The Wigner Theorem states that the statistical distribution of the eigenvalues of a random Hermitian matrix converges to the semi-circular law as the dimension goes to infinity. It is possible to establish this result by using harmonic analysis on the Heisenberg group. In fact this convergence corresponds to the topology of the set of spherical functions associated to the action of the unitary group on the Heisenberg group.

Transforming stochastic matrices for stochastic comparison with the st-order

Tuğrul Dayar, Jean-Michel Fourneau, Nihal Pekergin (2003)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We present a transformation for stochastic matrices and analyze the effects of using it in stochastic comparison with the strong stochastic (st) order. We show that unless the given stochastic matrix is row diagonally dominant, the transformed matrix provides better st bounds on the steady state probability distribution.
