  • We propose a bootstrap approximation method for the Hermitian one-matrix model that does not rely on positivity constraints. The theoretical foundation of this method is that the one-matrix model admits an eigenvalue distribution $ρ(λ)$, and that the moments $w_n$ generated from it satisfy the loop equations. Our framework is designed to numerically determine a self-consistent pair of $ρ(λ)$ and $w_n$ that simultaneously satisfies these two requirements. In the concrete implementation the least-squares method is employed, and since the sign problem is absent in this formulation, the method can be formally applied to the Minkowski one-matrix model as well, provided that the one-cut structure of the resolvent is assumed. Actual numerical calculations show that this bootstrap approximation reproduces, with very high accuracy, the exact solutions for Euclidean-type models and the perturbative results for Minkowski-type models.
