Let Sp be the set of positive integers containing no p terms in arithmetic progression generated by the greedy algorithm. We show that for p an odd prime, the set Sp does not maximize the sum ∑a∈A 1/a , where the set A runs over all sequences of positive integers containing no p terms in arithmetic progression.

Abstract


Let Sp be the set of positive integers containing no p terms in arithmetic progression generated by the greedy algorithm. We show that for p an odd prime, the set Sp does not maximize the sum ∑a∈A 1/a , where the set A runs over all sequences of positive integers containing no p terms in arithmetic progression.
