comment Choosing set of best estimators for linear least squares
You mention that your basis functions may even be repeated, but that this poses no problem for you since least-squares is well defined even in this case. Is that actually true? Are you also doing an $\ell_1$ or $\ell_2$ penalization on the weights?

comment Gram matrix invertible iff set of vectors linearly independent
@Qiochu I know, by Gram-Schmidt, how to find the orthonormal basis that you mentioned. I can then represent each vector in my original set by this basis, thereby reducing the dimension of the vectors to equal the dimension of the subspace that they span. Do you think there is a way to demonstrate the property I'm asking about without requiring this reduction?

comment Gram matrix invertible iff set of vectors linearly independent
This only works if $A$ is square which assumes that there are as many vectors in the set as there are dimensions in each vector. Consider for example $v_1=<1,0,1>$ and $v_1=<0,1,1>$. Then $G=\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array}$, whose determinant is non-zero.

@Rahul Thank you! My intuition was broken and I should have remembered this from my signals book.

comment Create a trapping region for Lorenz Attractor
I may assume that $r>1$ but I really should just use that they are positive parameters. I tried using Lagrange multipliers but also had a problem with the tractability of the math.
