Singular values of random matrix with IID entries

73 Views Asked by At

Chart below is log-log plot of empirical CDF of the distribution of singular values for a matrix with IID random entries.

It tends to $O(x)$ for small $x$ regardless of the distribution, why?

Meanwhile CDF of absolute values of eigenvalues appears to be $O(x^2)$
