Abstract
Suppose that are i.i.d with . Let and be the longest length of arithmetic progressions and of arithmetic progressions mod relative to respectively. Firstly, the asymptotic distributions of and are given. Simultaneously, the errors are estimated by using Chen-Stein method. Next, the almost surely limits are discussed when all are equal and when considered on a common probability space. Finally, we consider the case that and . We prove that as tends to , the probability that takes two numbers and takes three numbers tends to 1.
