Abstract
To analyze the limiting spectral distribution of some random block-matrices, Girko (Random Oper. Stoch. Equ. 8(2), 189–194, 2000) uses a system of canonical equations from (An Introduction to Statistical Analysis of Random Arrays. VSP, Utrecht, 1998). In this paper, we use the method of moments to give an integral form for the almost sure limiting spectral distribution of such matrices.
