Irrational numbers associated to sequences without geometric progressions
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let s and k be integers with s geq 2 and k geq 2. Let g_k^{(s)}(n) denote the cardinality of the largest subset of the set {1,2,..., n} that contains no geometric progression of length k whose common ratio is a power of s. Let r_k(ell) denote the cardinality of the largest subset of the set {0,1,2,ldots, ell -1} that contains no arithmetric progression of length k. The limit [ lim_{n
ightarrow infty} frac{g_k^{(s)}(n)}{n} = (s-1) sum_{m=1}^{infty} left(frac{1}{s}
ight)^{min left(r_k^{-1}(m)
ight)} ] exists and converges to an irrational number.
