Resumen:
We study the statistics of the condition number ?=?max/?min (the ratio between largest and smallest squared singular values) of N×M Gaussian random matrices. Using a Coulomb fluid technique, we derive analytically and for large N the cumulative P(?x) distributions of ?. We find that these distributions decay as P(?x)˜exp[-ßNf+(x)], where ß is the Dyson index of the ensemble. The left and right rate functions f±(x) are independent of ß and calculated exactly for any choice of the rectangularity parameter a=M/N-1>0. Interestingly, they show a weak nonanalytic behavior at their minimum '©?' (corresponding to the average condition number), a direct consequence of a phase transition in the associated Coulomb fluid problem. Matching the behavior of the rate functions around '©?', we determine exactly the scale of typical fluctuations ~O(N-2/3) and the tails of the limiting distribution of ?. The analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. © 2014 American Physical Society.
