Integer Sets of Large Harmonic Sum Which Avoid Long Arithmetic Progressions

Number Theory 2025-09-05 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We give conditions under which certain digit-restricted integer sets avoid kk-term arithmetic progressions. These sets and their harmonic sums can be computed efficiently. Through large-scale search, we identify integer sets avoiding arithmetic progressions of length 4 and 10 whose harmonic sums exceed earlier "greedy" constructions.
