  2. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    Proof without words of the arithmetic progression formulas using a rotated copy of the blocks. An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference from any succeeding term to its preceding term remains constant throughout the sequence. The constant difference is called common difference of that ...

  3. Primes in arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primes_in_arithmetic...

    In number theory, primes in arithmetic progression are any sequence of at least three prime numbers that are consecutive terms in an arithmetic progression. An example is the sequence of primes (3, 7, 11), which is given by a n = 3 + 4 n {\displaystyle a_{n}=3+4n} for 0 ≤ n ≤ 2 {\displaystyle 0\leq n\leq 2} .

  4. Dirichlet's theorem on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet's_theorem_on...

    For example, 6n + 1 produces the same primes as 3n + 1, while 6n + 5 produces the same as 3n + 2 except for the only even prime 2. The following table lists several arithmetic progressions with infinitely many primes and the first few ones in each of them.

  5. Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth's_Theorem_on...

    Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions (infinite version): A subset of the natural numbers with positive upper density contains a 3-term arithmetic progression. An alternate, more qualitative, formulation of the theorem is concerned with the maximum size of a Salem–Spencer set which is a subset of [ N ] = { 1 , … , N } {\displaystyle [N ...

  6. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    The first block is a unit block and the dashed line represents the infinite sum of the sequence, a number that it will forever approach but never touch: 2, 3/2, and 4/3 respectively. A geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a mathematical sequence of non-zero numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying ...

  7. Green–Tao theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green–Tao_theorem

    There has been separate computational work to find large arithmetic progressions in the primes. The Green–Tao paper states 'At the time of writing the longest known arithmetic progression of primes is of length 23, and was found in 2004 by Markus Frind, Paul Underwood, and Paul Jobling: 56211383760397 + 44546738095860 · k ; k = 0, 1 ...

  8. Arithmetico-geometric sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetico-geometric_sequence

    is an arithmetico-geometric sequence. The arithmetic component appears in the numerator (in blue), and the geometric one in the denominator (in green). The series summation of the infinite elements of this sequence has been called Gabriel's staircase and it has a value of 2. [2] [3] In general,

  9. Congruum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congruum

    When this equation is satisfied, both sides of the equation equal the congruum. Fibonacci solved the congruum problem by finding a parameterized formula for generating all congrua, together with their associated arithmetic progressions. According to this formula, each congruum is four times the area of a Pythagorean triangle.
