Abstract:
Let p be an odd prime and let δ be a fixed real number with 0<δ<2. For an integer a with 0<a<p, denote by ā the unique integer between 0 and p satisfying aā≡1 (mod p). Further, let {x} denote the fractional part of x. We derive an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of integers (a, b with
