THE CONTINUOUS DENSITY FUNCTION OF THE LIMITING SPECTRAL DISTRIBUTION

In multivariate analysis, the inversion formula of the Stieltjes transform is used to find the density of a spectral distribution of random matrices of sample covariance type. Let $B_n\;=\;\frac{1}{N}Y_nY_n^TT_n$ where $Y_n\;=\;[Y_{ij}]_{n\;{\times}\;N}$ is with independent, identically distributed entries and $T_n$ is an $n\;{\times}\;n$ symmetric non-negative definite random matrix independent of the $Y_{ij}$'s. In the present paper, using the inversion formula of the Stieltjes transform, we will find that the limiting distribution of $B_n$ has a continuous density function away from zero.
