The Marčenko-Pastur law for sparse random bipartite biregular graphs (1304.4907v2)

Abstract: We prove that the empirical spectral distribution of a (d_L, d_R)-biregular, bipartite random graph, under certain conditions, converges to a symmetrization of the Mar\v{c}enko-Pastur distribution of random matrix theory. This convergence is not only global (on fixed-length intervals) but also local (on intervals of increasingly smaller length). Our method parallels the one used previously by Dumitriu and Pal (2012).
