Smoothed analysis of symmetric random matrices with continuous distributions

Abstract

We study invertibility of matrices of the form D + R, where D is an arbitrary symmetric deterministic matrix and is a symmetric random matrix whose independent entries have continuous distributions with bounded densities. We show that ||(D + R)^(-1)|| = O(n^2) with high probability. The bound is completely independent of D. No moment assumptions are placed on R; in particular the entries of R can be arbitrarily heavy-tailed.
