Almost Arithmetic Progressions

  • Egbert Harzheim
Chapter

Abstract

We investigate almost arithmetic progressions x 1, x 2, ..., x L of real numbers, that means sequences for which there exist non-overlapping intervals A i = [a i , b i ] of equal length, where the a i constitute an arithmetic progression, and which satisfy x i A i for i = 1, ..., L.
