For a sequence
of real numbers, define the following sets
![\[A=\{a_i | 1\leq i\leq m\}\ \text{and} \ B=\{a_i+2a_j | 1\leq i,j\leq m, i\neq j\}\]](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/e/7/fe792687755e2d5afe8a46f827b6e0bb11f6391e.png)
Let
be a given integer, and
. For any strictly increasing arithmetic sequence of positive integers, determine, with proof, the minimum number of elements of set
, where


![\[A=\{a_i | 1\leq i\leq m\}\ \text{and} \ B=\{a_i+2a_j | 1\leq i,j\leq m, i\neq j\}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/e/7/fe792687755e2d5afe8a46f827b6e0bb11f6391e.png)
