The sequence of fractional parts of roots

Kevin O'Bryant (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the function M θ ( n ) = 1 / θ 1 / n , where θ is a positive real number, ⌊·⌋ and · are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. Nathanson proved, among other properties of M θ , that if log θ is rational, then for all but finitely many positive integers n, M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . We extend this by showing that, without any condition on θ, all but a zero-density set of integers n satisfy M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . Using a metric result of Schmidt, we show that almost all θ have asymptotically (log θ log x)/12 exceptional n ≤ x. Using continued...
