Abstract: We address the noncommutative version of the Edmonds’ problem, which asks to determine the inner rank of a matrix in noncommuting variables. We provide an algo rithm for the calculation of this inner rank by relating the problem with the distribution of a basic object in free probability theory, namely operator-valued semicircular ele ments. We have to solve a matrix-valued quadratic equation, for which we provide precise analytical and numerical control on the fixed point algorithm for solving the equation. Numerical examples show the efficiency of the algorithm.
