随着计算机的发展和应用，大维数据分析已经成为现代数理统计中一项热门课题并被广泛应用与各个领域。作为大维数据分析的一个重要理论工具，大维随机矩阵谱理论受到越来越多的重视。本书第一版介绍了该领域中重要成果和重要数学工具和手法，包括半圆律、MP律、极大极小特征根的极限、谱分离定理、线性谱统计量的中心极限定理、园律等重要结论，以及矩方法、Stieltjes变换方法等。本书第二版将增加关于大维随机矩阵的特征向量矩阵的极限定理，随即矩阵理论在无线通讯和金融等领域的应用。另外，将增加第一版发表以后该领域取得的新结果。

本书可供概率论与数理统计以及个应用领域研究生和研究人员，概率统计领域人员，应用领域人员等学习参考。

The aim of the book is to introduce basic concepts, main results, and widely applied mathematical tools in the spectral analysis of large dimensional random matrices.The core of the book focuses on results established under moment conditions on random variables using probabilistic methods, and is thus easily applicable to statistics and other areas of science. The book introduces fundamental results, most of them investigated by the authors, such as the semicircular law of Wigner matrices, the Mareenko-Pastur law,the limiting spectral distribution of the multivariate F-matrix, limits of extreme eigenvalues,spectrum separation theorems, convergence rates of empirical distributions, central limit theorems of linear spectral statistics, and the partial solution of the famous circular law.While deriving the main results, the book simultaneously emphasizes the ideas and methodologies of the fundamental mathematical tools, among them being: truncation techniques, matrix identities, moment convergence theorems, and the Stieltjes transform.Its treatment is especially fitting to the needs of mathematics and statistics graduate students and beginning researchers, having a basic knowledge of matrix theory and an understanding of probability theory at the graduate level, who desire to learn the concepts and tools in solving problems in this area. It can also serve as a detailed handbook on results of large dimensional random matrices for practical users. This second edition includes two additional chapters, one on the authors' results on the limiting behavior of eigenvectors of sample covariance matrices, another on applications to wireless communications and f'mance. While attempting to bring this edition up-to-date on recent work, it also provides summaries of other areas which are typically considered part of the general field of random matrix theory.
