Title of TalkAnti-Van der Waerden number of 3-term arithmetic progression
AbstractA set is rainbow if each element of the set is a di erent color. The anti-van der Waerden number of the integers from 1 to n, denoted by aw([n]; k), is the least positive integer r such that every exact r-coloring of [n] contains a rainbow k-term arithmetic progression. The exact value of the anti-van der Waerden number of the integers where k = 3 is given by aw([n]; 3) = dlog3 ne+2. The anti-van der Waerden number can also be de ned on graphs, where aw(G; k) is the least number of colors such that every coloring contains a rainbow k-term arithmetic progression. Bounds on the anti-van der Wareden number of graphs have been established and exact values are known for certain families of graphs. Keywords: Rainbow, r
