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 m−n. 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 m−n 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.
