A121385 Minimal number of three-term arithmetic progressions that a coloring of {1,...,n} can contain. 1
0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 31, 34, 37, 40, 43, 46 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,11

COMMENTS

a(9)=1 is the well known fact that the van der Waerden number for 2 colors and three-term arithmetic progressions is 9.

EXAMPLE

a(8)=0 because we can two color {1,...,8} by 11001100 so that there are no three-term arithmetic progressions.
