Erdős Problem #1186

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

What is the minimum asymptotic density $\delta_k$ of monochromatic $k$-term arithmetic progressions in every two-colouring of $\{1, \dots, n\}$? The exact certificate gives $\delta_3 = 117/2192$, matching the known 548-bead colouring.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
