Abstract
Benjamini, Kalai and Schramm (2001) showed that weighted majority functions of independent unbiased bits are uniformly stable under noise: when each bit is flipped with probability , the probability that the weighted majority changes is at most . They asked what is the best possible exponent that could replace 1/4. We prove that the answer is 1/2. The upper bound obtained for is within a factor of from the known lower bound when and .
