Abstract: The paper is primarily concerned with the asymptotic behavior as $Noinfty$ of averages of nonconventional arrays having the form $N^{-1}su{m}_{n=1}^{N}pro{d}_{j=1}^{e}ll{T}^{P_j(n,N)}{f}_j$ where $f_j$'s are bounded measurable functions, $T$ is an invertible measure preserving transformation and $P_j$'s are polynomials of $n$ and $N$ taking on integer values on integers. It turns out that when $T$ is weakly mixing and $P_j(n,N)=p_{j}n+q_{j}N$ are linear or, more generally, have the form $P_j(n,N)=P_j(n)+Q_j(N)$ for some integer valued polynomials $P_j$ and $Q_j$ then the above averages converge in $L^2$ but for general polynomials $P_j$ the $L^2$ convergence can be ensured even in the case $ell=1$ only when $T$ is strongly mixing. Studying also weakly mixing and compact extensions and relying on Furstenberg's structure theorem we derive an extension of Szemer' edi's theorem saying that for any subset of integers $Lambda$ with positive upper density there exists a subset $mathcal{N}_{L}ambda$ of positive integers having uniformly bounded gaps such that for $Ninmathcal{N}_{L}ambda$ and at least $varepsilonN,,varepsilon>0$ of $n$'s all numbers $p_{j}n+q_{j}N,,j=1,\mathrm{...},ell$ belong to $Lambda$. We obtain also a version of these results for several commuting transformations which yields a corresponding extension of the multidimensional Szemer' edi theorem.
