Erdős Problem #169 — Let k≥3k\geq 3 and f(k)f(k) be the supremum of ∑n∈A1n\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n} as AA ranges over all sets of positive integers which do not contain a kk-term arithmetic progression.

Let k≥3k\geq 3 and f(k)f(k) be the supremum of ∑n∈A1n\sum_{n\in A}\frac{1}{n} as AA ranges over all sets of positive integers which do not contain a kk-term arithmetic progression. Estimate f(k)f(k). Is lim⁡k→∞f(k)log⁡W(k)=∞\lim_{k\to \infty}\frac{f(k)}{\log W(k)}=\infty where W(k)W(k) is the van der Waerden number?
