Abstract

Our first joint paper with Erdős appeared in 1966. It was a triple paper with Szemerédi written on divisibility properties of sequences of integers which is one of Erdős’ favorite subjects. Nine further triple papers written on the same subject followed it, and since 1966, we have written altogether 52 joint papers with Erdős. On this special occasion I would like to return to the subject of our very first paper. In Sect. 2, I will give a survey of the related results, while in Sect. 3, I will study a further related problem.
