Abstract
We show that if G is a K-r-free graph on N. there is an independent set in G which contains an arbitrarily long arithmetic progression together with i ts difference. This is a common generalization of theorems of Schur, van de r Waerden, and Ramsey. We also discuss various related questions regarding (m, p, c)-sets and parameter words. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
