Summary: We show an improved upper estimate for van der Waerden number \(W(3,k)\): there is an absolute constant \(c>0\) such that if \(\{1,\dots,N\}=X\cup Y\) is a partition such that \(X\) does not contain any arithmetic progression of length \(3\) and \(Y\) does not contain any arithmetic progression of length \(k\) then \[N\leqslant \exp(O(k^{1-c}))\,.\]
