It is hopeless to try to characterise all the individual interactions in these mixtures. Thus, we develop a statistical approach to approximating them, and examine the conditions under which the mixtures phase separate. The approach approximates the matrix of second virial coefficients of the mixture by a random matrix, and determines the stability of the mixture from the spectrum of such random matrices.4 pages, uses RevTeX 4.0Soft Condensed MatterDisordered Systems and Neural NetworksInstabilities in complex mixtures with a large number of componentstext
