Namely, the subset A is assumed to contain no configuration of k 3-APs, sharing the middle term, such that all 2k+1 terms are distinct. In the proof, we adapt a new method in the recent work of Sauermann.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-23T17:57:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "three-term arthmetic progressions", "three-term arithmetic progressions", "upper bound", "middle term", "configuration" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
