Progressions in sequences of nearly consecutive integers

From MaRDI portal





For \(k\geq 3\) and \(r\geq 2\), let \(G(r,k)\) denote the smallest positive integer \(m\) such that every sequence of integers \(a_1, \cdots , a_m\) such that \(1\leq a_{j+1}-a_j\leq r\), \(1\leq j\leq m-1\), contains a \(k\)-term arithmetic progression. The authors show that for every fixed \(r\geq 2\), there is a constant \(c_r\), such that \(G(k,r)>r^{k-c_r\sqrt{k}}\), for all \(k\).
