Let A = (aij) be an n × n random matrix with i.i.d. entries such that Ea11 = 0 and Ea112 = 1. We prove that for any δ > 0 there is L > 0 depending only on δ, and a subset N of B2n of cardinality at most exp(δn) such that with probability very close to one we have $$A\left( {B_2^n} \right)\subset\mathop \cup \limits_{y \in A\left( \mathcal{N} \right)} \left( {y + L\sqrt n B_2^n} \right)$$A(B2n)∪y∈A(N)(y+LnB2n). In fact, a stronger statement holds true. As an application, we show that for some L… Expand
Approximate Spielman-Teng theorems for random matrices with heavy-tailed entries: a combinatorial view
This paper makes two contributions to the areas of anti-concentration and non-asymptotic random matrix theory. First, we study the counting problem in inverse Littlewood-Offord theory for generalExpand
Lower bounds for the smallest singular value of structured random matrices
We obtain lower tail estimates for the smallest singular value of random matrices with independent but non-identically distributed entries. Specifically, we consider $n\times n$ matrices with complexExpand

Invertibility via distance for noncentered random matrices with continuous distributions
