With the usual objective
the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for the Lasso are
Comparing the objective at and , expanding the square, and cancelling the noise norm gives exactly
Choose . Since every column has norm , each is sub-Gaussian with parameter . A union bound gives
On the complementary event, Holder inequality and the triangle inequality bound the preceding right-hand side by
which proves the stated prediction bound.
For the Dantzig selector, use the constraint . The Lasso KKT conditions make feasible, so a Dantzig minimizer has no larger norm. If were not the Lasso solution, uniqueness from invertibility of would imply that some active coordinate has strict signed KKT slack. For small , set
Only score coordinate changes, toward its feasible boundary, so remains feasible. For small , signs on the active coordinates do not change, and
by strict diagonal dominance. This contradicts Dantzig optimality, so the two estimators coincide.
