[Community Question] Linear-algebra: Singular value inequality for sum of 2 matrices

One of our user asked:

I found a theorem mentioned in a couple of places, but could not find a proof. The theorem states the following:

Let $A, B \in \mathbb{F^{m,n}}$, $p=min(m,n)$ with singular values $\sigma_1(A) \geqslant...\geqslant \sigma_p(A)$ and $\sigma_i(B) \geqslant...\geqslant \sigma_p(B)$ respectively, then $\sigma_{i+j-1}(A+B) \leqslant \sigma_i(A) + \sigma_j(B)$.

I am looking for a proof of the above. Thanks in advance.

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

Order of elements of the Prüfer groups $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$

Let $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ be defined by $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty}) = \{ \overline{a/b} \in \mathbb{Q}/ \mathbb{Z} / a,b \in \mathbb{Z}, b=p^i$ $ with$ $ i \in \mathbb{N} \}$ , I wish show that any element in $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ has order $p^n$ with $n \in \mathbb{N}$ . i try several ways but I have not been successful, some help ?? thank you
