Concentration of random determinants and permanent estimators

From MaRDI portal
Publication:3583307




Abstract: We show that the absolute value of the determinant of a matrix with random independent (but not necessarily iid) entries is strongly concentrated around its mean. As an application, we show that the Godsil-Gutman and Barvinok estimators for the permanent of a strictly positive matrix give sub-exponential approximation ratios with high probability.
