In this paper, we consider the spectrum of a Laplacian matrix, also known as Markov matrices where the entries of the matrix are independent but have a variance profile. Motivated by recent works on generalized Wigner matrices we assume that the variance profile gives rise to a sequence of graphons. Under the assumption that these graphons converge, we show that the limiting spectral distribution converges. We give an expression for the moments of the limiting measure in terms of graph homomorphisms. In some special cases, we identify the limit explicitly. We also study the spectral norm and derive the order of the maximum eigenvalue. We show that our results cover Laplacians of various random graphs including inhomogeneous Erdős–Rényi random graphs, sparse W-random graphs, stochastic block matrices and constrained random graphs.

We study the high-dimensional asymptotic regimes of correlated Wishart matrices [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text] Gaussian random matrix with correlated and non-stationary entries. We prove that under different normalizations, two distinct regimes emerge as both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] grow to infinity. The first regime is the one of central convergence, where the law of the properly renormalized Wishart matrices becomes close in Wasserstein distance to that of a Gaussian orthogonal ensemble matrix. In the second regime, a non-central convergence happens, and the law of the normalized Wishart matrices becomes close in Wasserstein distance to that of the so-called Rosenblatt–Wishart matrix recently introduced by Nourdin and Zheng. We then proceed to show that the convergences stated above also hold in a functional setting, namely as weak convergence in [Formula: see text]. As an application of our main result (in the central convergence regime), we show that it can be used to prove convergence in expectation of the empirical spectral distributions of the Wishart matrices to the semicircular law. Our findings complement and extend a rich collection of results on the study of the fluctuations of Gaussian Wishart matrices, and we provide explicit examples based on Gaussian entries given by normalized increments of a bi-fractional or a sub-fractional Brownian motion.

We obtain a closed form $alpha$-dependent expression for the covariance of the limiting process resulting from fluctuations of the Stieltjes transform by explicitly integrating the known double Laplace transform integral formula obtained in the literature. We then express the covariance as an integral kernel acting on bounded continuous test functions. The resulting formulation allows us to offer a heuristic interpretation of the impact the typical large eigenvalues of this matrix ensemble have on the covariance structure.","PeriodicalId":54329,"journal":{"name":"Random Matrices-Theory and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80146703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We characterize the limiting fluctuations of traces of several independent Wigner matrices and deterministic matrices under mild conditions. A CLT holds but in general the families are not asymptotically free of second-order and the limiting covariance depends the limiting [Formula: see text]-distribution of the deterministic matrices and their transposes and Hadamard products.

In this paper, we innovatively propose an extremely flexible semi-parametric regression model called Multi-response Trans-Elliptical Regression (MTER) Model, which can capture the heavy-tail characteristic and tail dependence of both responses and covariates. We investigate the feature screening procedure for the MTER model, in which Kendall’ tau-based canonical correlation estimators are proposed to characterize the correlation between each transformed predictor and the multivariate transformed responses. The main idea is to substitute the classical canonical correlation ranking index in [X. B. Kong, Z. Liu, Y. Yao and W. Zhou, Sure screening by ranking the canonical correlations, TEST 26 (2017) 1–25] by a carefully constructed non-parametric version. The sure screening property and ranking consistency property are established for the proposed procedure. Simulation results show that the proposed method is much more powerful to distinguish the informative features from the unimportant ones than some state-of-the-art competitors, especially for heavy-tailed distributions and high-dimensional response. At last, a real data example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.

This paper considers empirical likelihood inference for a high-dimensional partially functional linear model. An empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic is constructed for the regression coefficients of non-functional predictors and proved to be asymptotically normally distributed under some regularity conditions. Moreover, maximum empirical likelihood estimators of the regression coefficients of non-functional predictors are proposed and their asymptotic properties are obtained. Simulation studies are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed procedure and a real data set is analyzed for illustration.

In this paper, we consider the spectral properties of quaternion sample covariance matrices. Let [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the square root of a [Formula: see text] quaternion Hermitian non-negative definite matrix [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a [Formula: see text] matrix consisting of i.i.d. standard quaternion entries. Under the framework of random matrix theory, i.e. [Formula: see text] as [Formula: see text], we prove that if the fourth moment of the entries is finite, then there will almost surely be no eigenvalues that appear in any closed interval outside the support of the limiting distribution as [Formula: see text].

We prove large deviations principles for spectral measures of perturbed (or spiked) matrix models in the direction of an eigenvector of the perturbation. In each model under study, we provide two approaches, one of which relying on large deviations principle of unperturbed models derived in the previous work “Sum rules via large deviations” (Gamboa et al. [Sum rules via large deviations, J. Funct. Anal. 270(2) (2016) 509–559]).

It is known from [G. Filipuk and W. Van Assche, Discrete orthogonal polynomials with hypergeometric weights and Painlevé VI, Symmetry Integr. Geom. Methods Appl. 14 (2018), Article ID: 088, 19 pp.] that the recurrence coefficients of discrete orthogonal polynomials on the nonnegative integers with hypergeometric weights satisfy a system of nonlinear difference equations. There is also a connection to the solutions of the [Formula: see text]-form of the sixth Painlevé equation (one of the parameters of the weights being the independent variable in the differential equation) [G. Filipuk and W. Van Assche, Discrete orthogonal polynomials with hypergeometric weights and Painlevé VI, Symmetry Integr. Geom. Methods Appl. 14 (2018), Article ID: 088, 19 pp.]. In this paper, we derive a second-order nonlinear difference equation from the system and present explicit formulas showing how this difference equation arises from the Bäcklund transformations of the sixth Painlevé equation. We also present an alternative way to derive the connection between the recurrence coefficients and the solutions of the sixth Painlevé equation.

We compute the eigenvalue fluctuations of uniformly distributed random biregular bipartite graphs with fixed and growing degrees for a large class of analytic functions. As a key step in the proof, we obtain a total variation distance bound for the Poisson approximation of the number of cycles and cyclically non-backtracking walks in random biregular bipartite graphs, which might be of independent interest. As an application, we translate the results to adjacency matrices of uniformly distributed random regular hypergraphs.
