On some divisor problems
The purpose of this paper is to investigate efficient representations of the residue classes modulo , by performing sum and product set operations starting from a given subset of . We consider the case of very small sets and composite for which not much seemed known (nontrivial results were recently obtained when is prime or when log ). Roughly speaking we show that all residue classes are obtained from a -fold sum of an -fold product set of , where and , provided the residue sets...
The main purpose of this paper is to study the hybrid mean value of and Gauss sums by using the estimates for trigonometric sums as well as the analytic method. An asymptotic formula for the hybrid mean value of and Gauss sums will be proved using analytic methods and estimates for trigonometric sums.
