Abstract: Given a set of integers containing no 3-term arithmetic progressions, one constructs a Stanley sequence by choosing integers greedily without forming such a progression. Independent Stanley sequences are a "well-structured" class of Stanley sequences with two main parameters: the character $lambda(A)$ and the repeat factor $ho(A)$. Rolnick conjectured that for every $$, there exists an independent Stanley sequence $S(A)$ such that $lambda(A)=lambda$. This paper demonstrates that $lambda(A)otin1,3,5,9,11,15$ for any independent Stanley sequence $S(A)$.
