Lattice points (Q1384987)

The author states a theorem due to \textit{J. Cilleruelo} and \textit{A. Córdoba} [Duke Math. J. 76, 741-750 (1994; Zbl 0822.11069)]. Consider a circle of radius \(R\) centered at the origin. Then an arc of length \(R^\alpha\) contains, at most, \(c_\alpha\) lattice points, where \(1/3\leq \alpha\leq 1/2\) and \(c_\alpha\) is a finite constant. Then some asymptotic results on Gauss sums are given and the differentiability of the trigonometric series \[ S_{\alpha,k} (x)= \sum^\infty_{n=1}{1\over n^\alpha} e^{2 \pi in^kx} \] is discussed. Finally, examples for sums of type \[ S(N)= \sum^N_{k=1} f\left( {k\over N} \right) \mu \left(N\varphi \left( {k\over N} \right) \right) \] are given, where \(\mu\) is a periodic function of average 0 and \(| \varphi''(x) |\geq c>0\).
