It is shown that Stieltjes transforms of such function satisfy the so called canonical equation. A large series of papers is devoted to the investigation of normalized spectral functions of empirical covariance matrices (see reviews and books in the spectral theory of random matrices [1-14]). However, for many years nobody could solve the problem of deriving the equation for the Stieltjes transform of spectral functions of large order empirical covariance matrices when observations of random vector are independent. In this article, we propose a method of martingale-differences to solve this problem presented by the author in [2] and have found the equation for the Stieltjes transform of normalized spectral function. Since this equation holds for general random matrices and is often employed in applied investigations, we call it, as the similar equation in [1], a canonical spectral equation.
