On the spectra and pseudospectra of a class of non-self-adjoint random matrices and operators (Q2873565)

In the present paper, the authors consider non-selfadjoint tridiagonal matrices of arbitrary order. The main aim of the paper is to understand the relationship between the spectral properties of finite random matrices and the corresponding infinite random matrices in the non-normal case. The authors study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum and pseudospectrum of a finite matrix \(A_n\) as \(n\to\infty\). They develop and apply methods for the spectral analysis of non-selfadjoint tridiagonal infinite and finite random matrices. The authors also provide an application of the main results to the ``hopping sign model'' which was introduced in [\textit{J. Feinberg} and \textit{A. Zee}, ``Non-Hermitian localization and delocalization'', Phys. Rev. E 59, No. 6, 6433--6443 (1999; \url{doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.59.6433})].
