Review text

The author refers to the iterative method of \textit{R. C. Vaughan} [Acta Math. 162, 1-71 (1989; Zbl 0665.10033)] with the efficient differencing procedure introduced by \textit{T. D. Wooley} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 135, 131-164 (1992; Zbl 0754.11026)] and obtains: Let \(\mathbb{K}\) be a number field of degree \(n\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\). Then for large integer \(k\) one has \[ G_{\mathbb{K}}(k)\leq nk\Biggl(\log k+ \log\log k+6+ O\biggl( \frac{\log\log k}{\log k}\biggr) \Biggr) \] where \(G_{\mathbb{K}}(k)\) is the Siegel extension of the classical Waring function \(G(k)\) to \(\mathbb{K}\). This is a parallel result to Wooley's in [ibid.] and improves upon the previous know one by \textit{Y. Eda} [Semin. Mod. Methods Number Theory (Tokyo 1971; Zbl 0312.10035)], who showed that \[ G_{\mathbb{K}}(k)\leq nk(2\log k+3\log\log k+4\log n+2\log\log n)+ 4k(\log n+7)+1. \]
