Abstract: Given positive integers n and k, a k-term semi-progression of scope m is a sequence (x1,x2,...,xk) such that xj+1xjind,2d,ldots,md,1lejlek1, for some positive integer d. Thus an arithmetic progression is a semi-progression of scope 1. Let Sm(k) denote the least integer for which every coloring of 1,2,...,Sm(k) yields a monochromatic k-term semi-progression of scope m. We obtain an exponential lower bound on Sm(k) for all m=O(1). Our approach also yields a marginal improvement on the best known lower bound for the analogous Ramsey function for quasi-progressions, which are sequences whose successive differences lie in a small interval.
