Jul 7, 2017 at 19:58 comment added Robert Israel $x \cdot 1 = 0$ seems not particularly helpful, nor the maximum entry of $x$: maybe $x$ has two entries of $+M$ and $-M$ and all the rest $0$. Then $\sum_j S_jj x_j^2$ is $M^2$ times a Binomial($2,1/2$) random variable, which has probability $1/4$ of being $0$. If you want a nontrivial lower bound with high probability, you'll need to rule out the possibility that nearly all entries of $x$ are very close to $0$.
Jul 7, 2017 at 18:47 comment added johnny @Thank you for the reply. I know some information about $x$, $x\cdot 1=0$ and I have a bound for the maximum entry of $x$. I was hoping to use a concentration inequality to be able to lower bound it.
