Balancing vectors in the max norm

Let v₁, ..., v _n be vectors inR ⁿ of max norm at most one. It is proven that there exists a choice of signs for which all partial sums have max norm at mostKn ^1/2. It is further shown that such a choice of signs must be anticipatory—there is no way to choose thei-th sign without knowledge of v _j forj>i.
