On the Euler Function on Differences Between the Coordinates of Points on Modular Hyperbolas

Igor E. Shparlinski (2008)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

For a prime p > 2, an integer a with gcd(a,p) = 1 and real 1 ≤ X,Y < p, we consider the set of points on the modular hyperbola a , p ( X , Y ) = ( x , y ) : x y a ( m o d p ) , 1 x X , 1 y Y . We give asymptotic formulas for the average values ( x , y ) a , p ( X , Y ) x y * φ ( | x - y | ) / | x - y | and ( x , y ) a , p ( X , X ) x y * φ ( | x - y | ) with the Euler function φ(k) on the differences between the components of points of a , p ( X , Y ) .

On the fractional parts of x / n and related sequences. I

Bahman Saffari, R. C. Vaughan (1976)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

This paper and its sequels deal with a new concept of distributions modulo one which is connected with the Dirichlet divisor and similar problems. Each of the theorems has some independent interest, and in addition some of the techniques developed lead to improvements in certain applications of the hyperbola method.

On the fractional parts of x / n and related sequences. II

Bahman Saffari, R. C. Vaughan (1977)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

As promised in the first paper of this series (Ann. Inst. Fourier, 26-4 (1976), 115-131), these two articles deal with the asymptotic distribution of the fractional parts of x h ( x ) where h is an arithmetical function (namely h ( n ) = 1 / n , h ( n ) = log n , h ( n ) = 1 / log n ) and n is an integer (or a prime order) running over the interval [ y ( x ) , x ) ] . The results obtained are rather sharp, although one can improve on some of them at the cost of increased technicality. Number-theoretic applications will be given later on.
