Abstract: Recently, D. Wang has devised a new contour integral based method to simplify certain matrix integrals. Capitalizing on that approach, we derive a new expression for the probability density function (p.d.f.) of the joint eigenvalues of a complex non-central Wishart matrix with a rank-1 mean. The resulting functional form in turn enables us to use powerful classical orthogonal polynomial techniques in solving three problems related to the non-central Wishart matrix. To be specific, for an nimesn complex non-central Wishart matrix mathbfW with m degrees of freedom (mgeqn) and a rank-1 mean, we derive a new expression for the cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) of the minimum eigenvalue (lambdamin). The c.d.f. is expressed as the determinant of a square matrix, the size of which depends only on the difference mn. This further facilitates the analysis of the microscopic limit for the minimum eigenvalue which takes the form of the determinant of a square matrix of size mn with the Bessel kernel. We also develop a moment generating function based approach to derive the p.d.f. of the random variable fracexttr(mathbfW)lambdamin, where exttr(cdot) denotes the trace of a square matrix. This random quantity is of great importance in the so-called smoothed analysis of Demmel condition number. Finally, we find the average of the reciprocal of the characteristic polynomial det[zmathbfIn+mathbfW],;|argz|<pi, where mathbfIn and det[cdot] denote the identity matrix of size n and the determinant, respectively.
