[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: Are linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces always differentiable?

One of our user asked: In class we saw that every linear transformation is differentiable (since there's always a linear approximation for them) and we also saw that a differentiable function must be continuous, so it must be true that all linear operators are continuous, however, I just read that between infinite dimensional vector spaces this is not necessarily true. I would like to know where's the flaw in my reasoning (I suspect that linear transformations between infinite dimensional vector spaces are not always differentiable).

[Community Question] Calculus: prove $\int_0^\infty \frac{\log^2(x)}{x^2+1}\mathrm dx=\frac{\pi^3}{8}$ with real methods

One of our user asked: I am attempting to prove that $$J=\int_0^\infty\frac{\log^2(x)}{x^2+1}\mathrm dx=\frac{\pi^3}8$$ With real methods because I do not know complex analysis. I have started with the substitution $x=\tan u$ : $$J=\int_0^{\pi/2}\log^2(\tan x)\mathrm dx$$ $$J=\int_0^{\pi/2}\log^2(\cos x)\mathrm dx-2\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\log(\cos x)\log(\sin x)\mathrm dx+\int_0^{\pi/2}\log^2(\sin x)\mathrm dx$$ But frankly, this is basically worse. Could I have some help? Thanks.
