The Condition Number of a Random Matrix: From von Neumann-Goldstine to Spielman-Teng
Van Vu
11:15am|S-101

The condition number of a matrix is at the heart of numerical linear algebra. In the 1940s von-Neumann and Goldstine, motivated by the problem of inverting, posed the following question: (1) What is the condition number of a random matrix ? During...
