Let . Then there is some such that whenever is -coloured, there exists a monochromatic arithmetic progression of length , whose difference is of the same colour.

Proof

Let be suitable for . We show that the Waerden’s Number is suitable for . By definition, take monochromatic. If any of are the same colour as this sequence, we are done. Otherwise, this sequence is -coloured, so we are done by induction hypothesis.
