In this note, we supply the details of the proof of the fact that if a₁,…,a_n+Ω(n) are integers, then there exists a subset M⊂{1,…,n+Ω(n)} of cardinality n such that the equation

Distribution of exponential functions with squarefull exponent in residue rings

For a real x ≥ 1 we denote by S[x] the set of squarefull integers n ≤x, that is, the set of positive integers n ≤ such that l²|n for any prime divisor l|n. We estimate exponential sums of the form
