Cluster robustness conjecture for randomized small-block Lanczos

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Λ1,…,Λd∈Rb×b\Lambda_{1},\dotsc,\Lambda_{d}\in\mathbb{R}^{b\times b} be real diagonal matrices, and assume that Λi\Lambda_i and Λj\Lambda_j have disjoint spectra for 1≤i<j≤d1\leq i<j\leq d. Let [Ω1,…,Ωd][\Omega_1,\dotsc,\Omega_d] be a Gaussian random matrix with Ωi∈Rb×b\Omega_i\in\mathbb{R}^{b\times b}. The quantities χmono\chi_{\mathsf{mono}} and χcoef\chi_{\mathsf{coef}}, defined in the paper, measure the relevant polynomial-growth and coefficient effects in the cluster-robustness bound. Cluster robustness conjecture. With high probability, the product χmonoχcoef\chi_{\mathsf{mono}}\chi_{\mathsf{coef}} is bounded by a constant depending only on bb and dd, independently of the matrices Λi\Lambda_i for 1≤i≤d1\leq i\leq d. This would make the spectral-gap dependence in the cluster-robustness estimate uniform over the diagonal blocks, beyond the currently established upper bound.
