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.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.endm.2017.06.025","year":"2017","author":[{"full_name":"Bandeira, Afonso S.","last_name":"Bandeira","first_name":"Afonso S."},{"first_name":"Asaf","last_name":"Ferber","full_name":"Ferber, Asaf"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-4003-7567","full_name":"Kwan, Matthew Alan","last_name":"Kwan","first_name":"Matthew Alan","id":"5fca0887-a1db-11eb-95d1-ca9d5e0453b3"}],"page":"93-99","article_type":"original","day":"01","_id":"9574","publication_status":"published","volume":61,"quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2021-06-21T06:31:10Z","status":"public","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1571-0653"]},"date_published":"2017-08-01T00:00:00Z","oa":1,"month":"08","publisher":"Elsevier","external_id":{"arxiv":["1609.08136"]},"user_id":"6785fbc1-c503-11eb-8a32-93094b40e1cf"}
