On the generalized Hua problem

From MaRDI portal





Let \(f(x)= \sum^r_{i=1} a_ix^{C_i}\) with \(C_r> C_{r-1}>\cdots> C_1>0\) real numbers, and consider the integral \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^r}\Biggl|\int^1_0 e^{2\pi if(x)}\Biggr|^k da_1da_2\cdots da_r. \] It is proved that this converges if and only if \[ k>\max\Biggl\{1+ {r(r+1)\over 2},\;C_1+\cdots+ C_r\Biggr\}. \] The case of integral \(C_i\) arose from work of \textit{L.-K. Hua} [Q. J. Math., Oxf. Ser. 9, 315-320 (1938; Zbl 0020.00501)] on Tarry's problem, and was completely solved by \textit{G. Arkhipov}, \textit{A. Karatsuba} and \textit{V. Chubarikov} [Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Mat. 42, 1187-1226 (1978; Zbl 0402.10016)]. The present argument works from first principles.
