Prove an asymptotic formula for $r_k(N)$, the largest possible size of a subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ that does not contain any non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progression.
Show that $r_k(N)=o_k(N/\log N)$, where $r_k(N)$ the largest possible size of a subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ that does not contain any non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progression.
Find functions $f_k$, such that $r_k(N)=O_k(f_k)$, where $r_k(N)$ the largest possible size of a subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ that does not contain any non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progression.
Prove an asymptotic formula for $r_3(N)$, the largest possible size of a subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ that does not contain any non-trivial $3$-term arithmetic progression.
