Abstract: Let A,BsubseteqmathbbZ be finite, nonempty subsets with minA=minB=0, and let delta(A,B)={�egin{array}{ll} 1 & hbox{if} Asubseteq B, 0 & hbox{otherwise.} If maxBleqmaxAleq|A|+|B|3 and label{one}|A+B|leq |A|+2|B|-3-delta(A,B), then we show A+B contains an arithmetic progression with difference 1 and length |A|+|B|1. As a corollary, if eqref{one} holds, max(B)leqmax(A) and either gcd(A)=1 or else gcd(A+B)=1 and |A+B|leq2|A|+|B|3, then A+B contains an arithmetic progression with difference 1 and length |A|+|B|1.
