Extract

In this paper we continue the investigation begun in [6] concerning the number of solutions of the inequality

for almost all α (in the sense of Lebesgue measure on ℝ), where β is a given real number, , and both m and n are confined to sets of numbertheoretic interest. Our aim is to extend existing results ([7], [8], [5] for example), where only n is restricted. Here we shall prove the following result where, as elsewhere in this paper, p denotes a prime, and a square-free integer may be positive or negative.
