Abstract

We prove that if λ1\lambda_1, λ2\lambda_2, λ3\lambda_3 and λ4\lambda_4 are non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign, λ1/λ2\lambda_1 / \lambda_2 is irrational, and ϖ\varpi is any real number then, for any \eps>0\eps > 0 the inequality λ1p1+λ2p22+λ3p32+λ4p42+ϖ(maxjpj)1/18+\eps \bigl|\lambda_1 p_1 + \lambda_2 p_2^2 + \lambda_3 p_3^2 + \lambda_4 p_4^2 + \varpi \bigr| \le \bigl(\max_j p_j \bigr)^{-1 / 18 + \eps} has infinitely many solution in prime variables p1p_1, ..., p4p_4
