In this paper we investigate the structure of a set of n reals that contains a maximal number of l-term arithmetic progressions. This problem has been indicated by J. Riddell. Let l and n be positive integers with 2 ≦ ln. By F1(n) we denote the maximal number of l-term arithmetic progressions that a set of n reals can contain. A set of n reals containing F1(n)l-progressions will be called an Fl,(n)-set.
