Extract

§1. Introduction. In this paper, as in [4], we are concerned with integer points (m, n) lying close to the curve

in the sense that

where ║t║ denotes the distance of the real number t from the nearest integer. We shall always suppose that

and that F(x) is at least twice continuously differentiable. Let R be the number of solutions of (1.1) with m an integer, O ≤ m ≤ L. The obvious method of estimating R uses the row-of-teeth or rounding error function
