Folkman's second conjecture for increasing sequences and infinite arithmetic progressions
Folkman's second conjecture for increasing sequences and infinite arithmetic progressions
Let be an increasing sequence of positive integers, allowing repetitions, and let denote the number of elements of , counted with multiplicity, that are at most . Folkman's second conjecture. For any sufficiently large constant , if for all sufficiently large , then the subset-sum set contains an infinite arithmetic progression. The supplied excerpt does not state a resolution of this second conjecture, unlike the first Folkman conjecture, so its status is left open.
