Abstract: | Let be a finite system of residue classes which forms an -cover of (i.e., every integer belongs to at least members of ). In this paper we show the following sharp result: For any positive integers and , if there is such that the fractional part of is , then there are at least such subsets of . This extends an earlier result of M. Z. Zhang and an extension by Z. W. Sun. Also, we generalize the above result to -covers of the integral ring of any algebraic number field with a power integral basis. |
