Erdős Problem #524

declared status 'open'. Formalized: no. For any $t\in (0,1)$ let $t=\sum_{k=1}^\infty \epsilon_k(t)2^{-k}$ (where $\epsilon_k(t)\in \{0,1\}$). What is the correct order of magnitude (for almost all $t\in(0,1)$) for$$M_n(t)=\max_{x\in [-1,1]}\left\lvert \sum_{k\leq n}(-1)^{\epsilon_k(t)}x^k\right\rvert?$$ Prize: no. Tags: analysis, polynomials, probability.
