Problem

Find the maximum number of increasing arithmetic progressions of three terms that can have a sequence $a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_n$ of $n \ge 3$ real numbers.

Note: Three terms $a_i, a_j , a_k$ of a sequence of real numbers form an increasing arithmetic progression if $a_i < a_j < a_k$ and $a_j - a_i = a_k - a_j$.
