abstract

A novel lower bound is introduced for the full rank probability of random finite field matrices, where a number of elements with known location are identically zero, and remaining elements are chosen independently of each other, uniformly over the field. The main ingredient is a result showing that constraining additional elements to be zero cannot result in a higher probability of full rank. The bound then follows by "zeroing" elements to produce a block-diagonal matrix, whose full rank probability can be computed exactly. The bound is shown to be at least as tight and can be strictly tighter than existing bounds.

Maximum Probability of Independence in Transitive Matroids

For transitive matroids the probability that K independent samples from p are distinct and independent is quasi-concave and maximized at the uniform distribution on the ground set.

    Random [n,k] linear codes over F_q are MDS with probability tending to 1 if binom(n,k)/q -> 0 and to 0 if it -> infinity, with matching thresholds for super-regular matrices and Poisson limits e^{-lambda} in intermediate regimes.
