This is a normalized perceptron algorithm. Because , an update on a misclassified point obeysHere the two inequalities use the update condition and the assumed unit margin . A squared distance cannot become negative, so there can be at most updates. The algorithm then returns a vector that correctly separates every training point. The estimate is the comparison vector for the proof; without an additional uniqueness condition the returned separator need not equal that particular vector.
