Arithmetic Progressions on Conics.

چکیده
In this paper, we look at long arithmetic progressions on conics. By an arithmetic progression on a curve, we mean the existence of rational points on the curve whose x-coordinates are in arithmetic progression. We revisit arithmetic progressions on the unit circle, constructing 3-term progressions of points in the first quadrant containing an arbitrary rational point on the unit circle. We also provide infinite families of three term progressions on the unit hyperbola, as well as conics ax2 + cy2 = 1 containing arithmetic progressions as long as 8 terms.

متن کاملOn rainbow 4-term arithmetic progressions
{sl Let $[n]={1,dots, n}$ be colored in $k$ colors. A rainbow AP$(k)$ in $[n]$ is a $k$ term arithmetic progression whose elements have different colors. Conlon, Jungi'{c} and Radoiv{c}i'{c} cite{conlon} prove that there exists an equinumerous 4-coloring of $[4n]$ which is rainbow AP(4) free, when $n$ is even. Based on their construction, we show that such a coloring of $[4n]$...
متن کاملForbidden arithmetic progressions in permutations of subsets of the integers
Permutations of the positive integers avoiding arithmetic progressions of length 5 were constructed in (Davis et al, 1977), implying the existence of permutations of the integers avoiding arithmetic progressions of length 7. We construct a permutation of the integers avoiding arithmetic progressions of length 6. We also prove a lower bound of 1 2 on the lower density of subsets of positive inte...
متن کاملA 43 INTEGERS 12 ( 2012 ) ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS IN THE POLYGONAL NUMBERS Kenneth
In this paper, we investigate arithmetic progressions in the polygonal numbers with a fixed number of sides. We first show that four-term arithmetic progressions cannot exist. We then describe explicitly how to find all three-term arithmetic progressions. Finally, we show that not only are there infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions, but that there are infinitely many three-term ar...
متن کاملArithmetic progressions on Huff curves
We look at arithmetic progressions on elliptic curves known as Huff curves. By an arithmetic progression on an elliptic curve, we mean that either the x or y-coordinates of a sequence of rational points on the curve form an arithmetic progression. Previous work has found arithmetic progressions on Weierstrass curves, quartic curves, Edwards curves, and genus 2 curves. We find an infinite number...
