Abstract: | Let θ(k, pn) be the least s such that the congruence (mod pn) has a nontrivial solution. It is shown that if k is sufficiently large and divisible by p but not by p ? 1, then . We also obtain the average order of θ(k), the least s such that the above congruence has a nontrivial solution for every prime p and every positive integer n. |
