About Lehmer’s number, many people have studied its various properties, and obtained a series of interesting results. In this paper, we consider a generalized Lehmer problem: Let p be a prime, and let N ( k ; p ) denote the number of all 1 a i p - 1 such that a 1 a 2 a k 1 mod p and 2 a i + a ¯ i + 1 , i = 1 , 2 , , k . The main purpose of this paper is using the analytic method, the estimate for character sums and trigonometric sums to study the asymptotic properties of the counting function N ( k ; p ) , and give an interesting asymptotic formula for it.
