Abstract

Let NN be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that, for 1<c<11938891<c<\frac{1193}{889}, the following Diophantine inequality \begin{equation*} \big|p_1^c+p_2^c+p_3^c+p_4^c-N\big|<\log^{-1}N \end{equation*} is solvable in prime variables p1,p2,p3,p4p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4, which improves the result of Mu.
