On van der Corput's method for exponential sums (Q5915509)

Van der Corput's method and the techniques that have developed from it are devoted to obtaining upper bounds for sums of the form \(\sum_{m=M+1}^{2M} e(TF(m/M))\), where \(e(x)=e^{2\pi i x}\) and \(F\) is a real-valued ``almost monomial'' function with domain \([1,2]\). In this paper, the author proves results about the \(A^kBAD\) process, where \(A\) and \(B\) are the classical van der Corput processes and \(D\) is the double large sieve introduced by \textit{E. Fouvry} and \textit{H. Iwaniec} [J. Number Theory 33, No. 3, 311--333 (1989; Zbl 0687.10028)].
