A long-standing puzzle seems to constrain how addition and multiplication relate to each other. A graduate student has gone further than anyone else in establishing the connection. In 1983 the ...
Several papers have investigated sequences which have no k-term arithmetic progressions, finding bounds on their density and looking at sequences generated by greedy algorithms. Rankin in 1960 ...
I was teaching my nephew about arithmetic progressions – sequences like 17, 23, 29,… 677,… in which the common difference between successive terms is a constant ...
