[#R677] The singular count is between 126,174,821,830,345,268,667,240,568,576 and 901,210,462,928,281,273,073,900,978,176

claim. A two-term inclusion-exclusion count supplies the lower bound. Invertibility over F_2 supplies the upper bound.

1Summary

Let S_10 be the number in the question and let T=2^100=1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376. The certified interval is \[ 126{,}174{,}821{,}830{,}345{,}268{,}667{,}240{,}568{,}576 \leq S_{10}\leq 901{,}210{,}462{,}928{,}281{,}273{,}073{,}900{,}978{,}176. \] Equivalently, for a uniform random binary matrix, \[ \frac{492870397774786205731408471}{4951760157141521099596496896} \leq \Pr(\det A=0)\leq \frac{25613941912987493}{36028797018963968}. \] The decimal endpoints are approximately 0.09953438416518605 and 0.7109297015802510.

For the lower bound, first count every matrix having a zero row or two equal rows. Its complement consists of ten ordered, distinct, nonzero vectors chosen from 1,023 possibilities, so this first family has size T-(1023)_10, where (a)_k=a(a-1)\cdots(a-k+1). Among matrices outside that family, consider the 55 column events consisting of ten zero-column events and 45 equal-column events. Each single event leaves 511 possible nonzero row patterns, giving (511)_10 row-distinct matrices. Any two distinct column events impose two independent binary equations on a row, giving (255)_10 matrices. The first Bonferroni lower bound for their union is 55(511)_10-1485(255)_10. Adding the disjoint row-degenerate family gives the stated lower endpoint. Every counted matrix has determinant zero over the reals.

Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: all labeled 10 by 10 matrices with entries in {0,1}, with singularity taken over the real numbers.

3Overview

For the upper bound, every binary matrix invertible over F_2 has odd integer determinant and is invertible over the reals. There are \[ |\operatorname{GL}(10,2)|=\prod_{i=0}^{9}(2^{10}-2^i) =366{,}440{,}137{,}299{,}948{,}128{,}422{,}802{,}227{,}200 \] such matrices. Subtracting this from T gives the upper endpoint.

The interval leaves the exact value unresolved.
