1. Introduction. Several authors have proved theorems of the following type:

Let x0, y0 be any real numbers. Then for certain functions f(x, y), there exist numbers x, y such that

1.1 x ≡ x0, y ≡ y0 (mod 1),

and

1.2 .

The first result of this type, but with replaced by min , was given by Barnes (3) for the case when the function is an indefinite binary quadratic form. A generalisation of this was proved by elementary geometry by K. Rogers (6).
