Abstract: Let $heta$ be a Salem number and $P(x)$ a polynomial with integer coefficients. It is well-known that the sequence $(het{a}^n)$ modulo 1 is dense but not uniformly distributed. In this article we discuss the sequence $(P(het{a}^n))$ modulo 1. Our first approach is computational and consists in estimating the number of n so that the fractional part of $(P(het{a}^n))$ falls into a subinterval of the partition of $[0,1]$. If Salem number is of degree 4 we can obtain explicit density function of the sequence, using an algorithm which is also given. Some examples confirm that these two approaches give the same result.
