I would like to illustrate the problems which I shall investigate in this paper by an example. Denote by r) the maximum number of integers not exceeding n, no k of which form an arithmetic progression. The problem is to determine or estimate the value of rk(n). This problem is connected with several known questions of number theory. If r&) <(I-t)n/log n for every K, if n is sufficiently large, then the prime number theorem implies that for every k there are k primes in arithmetic progression. r) <n/2 would imply the well known theorem of Van der Waerden. The first paper on rk(n) is due to Turzin and myself [ 21. The best bounds for r3(n) presently known are [ 1;7 ]
