We study the distribution of the smallest eigenvalue for certain classes of\npositive-definite Hermitian random matrices, in the limit where the size of the\nmatrices becomes large. Their limit distributions can be expressed as Fredholm\ndeterminants of integral operators associated to kernels built out of Meijer\nG-functions or Wright's generalized Bessel functions. They generalize in a\nnatural way the hard edge Bessel kernel Fredholm determinant. We express the\nlogarithmic derivatives of the Fredholm determinants identically in terms of a\n2\× 2 Riemann-Hilbert problem, and use this representation to obtain the\nso-called large gap asymptotics.\n
