Interpretation of Cross-disciplinary Research

This paper is based on ``Pao-Lu Hsu's lecture'' (2019/3/22) at Peking University and the subsequent expansion of his reports. It begins with some recollections benefited of the author from Professor Hsu, and ends with thanking to a group of professors at Peking University for their support and help over the past decades. The middle part is the theme of the talk. It gives first an overview of personal cross research. Then, from a challenge of computing, the author reports on the study looking for a larger class of complex matrices which have real spectrum. This was done mainly in the last year. It involves the fields of computation, probability, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics Next, the paper introduces the latest development of algorithms, which is another illustration of the intersection between probability theory and computational mathematics. As the end, it also outlines the understanding of the cross study.
