The asymptotic behaviour of the mean-square of fractional part sums
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Abstract
In this article we consider sums S(t) = Σnψ (tf(n/t)), where ψ denotes, essentially, the fractional part minus ½ f is a C4-function with f″ non-vanishing, and summation is extended over an interval of order t. For the mean-square of S(t), an asymptotic formula is established. If f is algebraic this can be sharpened by the indication of an error term.
