Quantitative invertibility of random matrices : a combinatorial perspective
… value of a 'typical' realisation of the random matrix. In our main application, we consider random matrices of the form Mn := M + Nn, where M is a fixed complex matrix with operator norm at most exp(Nc), and Nn is a random matrix, each of whose entries is an independent copy of a complex random …
