On the distribution of the distances of multiples of an irrational number to the nearest integer
Let be an integer part of and be the number of positive divisor of . Inspired by some results of M. Jutila (1987), we prove that for , where is the Euler constant and is the Piatetski-Shapiro sequence. This gives an improvement upon the classical result of this problem.
We study the logarithm of the least common multiple of the sequence of integers given by . Using a result of Homma [5] on the distribution of roots of quadratic polynomials modulo primes we calculate the error term for the asymptotics obtained by Cilleruelo [3].
The product w = u ⊗ v of two sequences u and v is a naturally defined sequence on the alphabet of pairs of symbols. Here, we study when the product w of two balanced sequences u,v is balanced too. In the case u and v are binary sequences, we prove, as a main result, that, if such a product w is balanced and deg(w) = 4, then w is an ultimately periodic sequence of a very special form. The case of arbitrary alphabets is approached in the last section. The partial results obtained and the problems...

Let K be a finite set of lattice points in a plane. We prove that if |K| is sufficiently large and |K+K| < (4 - 2/s)|K| - (2s-1), then there exist s - 1 parallel lines which cover K. We also obtain some more precise structure theorems for the cases s = 3 and s = 4.
