Erdős problem 1150

Is there some constant c>0c > 0 such that, for all large enough nn and all polynomials PP of degree nn with coefficients in {1,1}\{-1, 1\}, maxz=1P(z)>(1+c)n?\max_{|z|=1} |P(z)| > (1 + c) \sqrt{n}?

The trivial lower bound from Parseval's identity: for any polynomial PP of degree nn with coefficients in {1,1}\{-1, 1\}, we have maxz=1P(z)n+1\max_{|z|=1} |P(z)| \geq \sqrt{n+1}.

This follows from Parseval's identity: 12π02πP(eiθ)2dθ=k=0nak2=n+1\frac{1}{2\pi} \int_0^{2\pi} |P(e^{i\theta})|^2 d\theta = \sum_{k=0}^{n} |a_k|^2 = n+1 since each ak2=1|a_k|^2 = 1.
