Spectral norm of random matrices (Q5900389): Difference between revisions

This paper studies symmetric random matrices with independent (but not necessarily identical) random variables. It improves an earlier result of \textit{Z.~Füredi} and \textit{J.~Komlós} [Combinatorica 1, 233-241 (1981; Zbl 0494.15010)] on the spectral norm of it. The proof uses Wigner's trace method and a new coding scheme.
