This distribution arises as the limiting distribution of eigenvalues of many random symmetric matrices as the size of the matrix approaches infinity. It is a scaled beta distribution, more precisely, if ''Y'' is beta distributed with parameters α = β = 3/2, then ''X'' = 2''RY'' – ''R'' has the above Wigner semicircle distribution. == General properties == The Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind are orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Wigner semicircle distribution. For positive integers ''n'', the 2''n''-th moment of this distribution is : where ''X'' is any random variable with this distribution and ''C''''n'' is the ''n''th Catalan number : so that the moments are the Catalan numbers if ''R'' = 2. (Because of symmetry, all of the odd-order moments are zero.) Making the substitution into the defining equation for the moment generating function it can be seen that: : which can be solved (see Abramowitz and Stegun (§9.6.18) ) to yield: : where is the modified Bessel function. Similarly, the characteristic function is given by: : where is the Bessel function. (See Abramowitz and Stegun (§9.1.20) ), noting that the corresponding integral involving is zero.) In the limit of approaching zero, the Wigner semicircle distribution becomes a Dirac delta function.
