In [5] Professor Hooley announced without proof the following result which is a variant of well-known work by Heilbronn [4]and Danicic [3] (see [1]).

Let k≥2 be an integer, b a fixed non-zero integer, and a an irrational real number. Then, for any ɛ> 0, there are infinitely many solutions to the inequality
