Let A be an n× n matrix with mutually independent centered Gaussian entries. Define σ^*:=maxi,j≤ n√\mathbb E |Ai,j|2, σ:=max(maxj≤ n√\mathbb E ‖\rm colj(A)‖22, maxi≤ n√\mathbb E ‖\rm rowi(A)‖22). Assume that σ≥ nε σ^* for a constant ε>0, and that a complex number z satisfies |z|=Ω(σ). We prove that smin(A-z \rm Id) ≥ |z| exp(-no(1) (\frac√(n) σ^*σ)2) with probability 1-o(1). Without extra assumptions on A, the bound is optimal up to the no(1) multiple in the power of exponent. We discuss applications of this estimate in context of empirical spectral distributions of inhomogeneous non-Hermitian random matrices.
