Abstract
Consider the sum X(ξ)=∑i=1naiξi, where a=(ai)i=1n is a sequence of non-zero reals and ξ=(ξi)i=1n is a sequence of i.i.d. Rademacher random variables (that is, Pr[ξi=1]=Pr[ξi=−1]=1/2). The classical Littlewood–Offord problem asks for the best possible upper bound on the concentration probabilities Pr[X=x]. In this paper we study a resilience version of the Littlewood–Offord problem: how many of the ξi is an adversary typically allowed to change without being able to force concentration on a particular value? We solve this problem asymptotically, and present a few interesting open problems.
