comment norm of a linear operator
For a fixed $x$, $\|A(x)\| = \|A(\frac{x}{\|x\|})\| \|x\| \leq \|A\|\|x\|$. The first step uses linearity of the operator and the second step uses definition of the operator norm. This is not a complete proof, one has to consider some case, but the gist of the proof is just this much.

comment Finding a vector orthogonal to a subspace
What is wrong with your finding x such that Ax = 0 idea? I see it as completely correct way of going about this.

comment Is the set of all straight lines in the plane whose slope and y-intercept are integers countable?
If f is a bijective map from N to P, then even $(m, n) \mapsto (f(m), f(n))$ should be bijective from NxN to PxP.

comment Prove by using Pigeon Hole Principle
@chihiroasleaf Said differently, consider the set {3, 33, 333, 3333, ...., (3 repeated k times)}. Now, any number when divided by k can give remainders between 0 and k - 1. Now, divide each number in the given set with k and observer the remainders that they give. What happens if one of the remainders is zero and what happens if none of the remainders are zero?

comment How variance is defined?
What you propose is another way of measuring spread - it is called mean absolute deviation.

You just need Jensen's Inequality. Check out @mike 's comment here - math.stackexchange.com/questions/211633/…

comment Subspace of a Hilbert Space
@Norbert, after reading Martin's answer I see how you made that connection :-) I was going through the link you suggested several times, honestly though I wasn't smart enough to see the similarities :-).

@Martin I have added the uniform boundedness principle to the question.

comment Minimization to Maximization doubt in SVM
You are correct about both, 1] there are constraints that essentially rule x being 0 and 2] the 1/2 is just to make the derivative pretty.

$x$ in this case is $\lambda m + o(m)$.

As $m$ approaches 0, you can write $\log(1 + x)$ in terms of its taylor expansion.

comment Does linearity decompose down convex sums?
If f is linear, then f is convex as well as concave.

comment Calculate $\int_0^2 x^2 e^x dx$
If you call LHS as $I(n)$, then $I(n) = 2^ne^2 - nI(n - 1)$, therefore $I(2) = 4e^2 - 2(2e^2 - I(0)) = 4e^2 - 4e^2 + 2I(0) = 2e^2 - 2$ where $I(0)$ is explicitly evaluated.

comment Show that a function is uniformly continuous
Your definition of Lipschitz is wrong. Lipschitz continuity implies $|f(x) - f(y)| \leq M|x - y|$ for "some" $M > 0$ where $M$ is called the Lipschitz "constant". Thereby, in your proof you "cannot choose" $M = \epsilon/\delta$. However, remember that you can choose $\epsilon$ and $\delta$. Also, Lipschitz continuity implies uniform continuity, which is what you are ending up proving.

comment Closest vector problem for orthogonal lattices
ah yes you are right. Apologies, I was truly confused by the wording given there. Sorry about that.

comment Closest vector problem for orthogonal lattices
I thought the second paragraph there was what you asked for (Though, there is a typo in that line which needs to be fixed)?
