Rough Notes on Bansal’s Algorithm

A quarter century ago I proved that given any S n} → {−1, +1} so that disc(S j) ≤ 6 √ n for all 1 ≤ j ≤ n where we define χ(S) = i∈S χ(i) (1) and disc(S) = |χ(S)|. Here 6 is an absolute constant whose precise value will not here be relevant. The question remained: Is there a polynomial time algorithm to find a coloring χ with this property. I frequently conjectured that there was no such algori...
