Abstract: Given positive integers $n$ and $k$, a $k$-term semi-progression of scope $m$ is a sequence $(x_1,x_2,\mathrm{...},x_k)$ such that $x_{j+1}-x_{j}ind,2d,ldots,md,1lejlek-1$, for some positive integer $d$. Thus an arithmetic progression is a semi-progression of scope $1$. Let $S_m(k)$ denote the least integer for which every coloring of $1,2,\mathrm{...},S_m(k)$ yields a monochromatic $k$-term semi-progression of scope $m$. We obtain an exponential lower bound on $S_m(k)$ 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.
