Abstract

Let [][\,\cdot\,] denote the floor function. In this paper, we show that whenever η\eta is real and the constants λi\lambda _i satisfy some necessary conditions, then for any fixed 6364<γ<1\frac{63}{64}<\gamma<1 and θ>0\theta>0, there exist infinitely many prime triples p1,p2,p3p_1,\, p_2,\, p_3 satisfying the inequality \begin{equation*} |\lambda _1p_1 + \lambda _2p_2 + \lambda _3p^2_3+\eta|<\big(\max \{p_1, p_2, p^2_3\}\big)^{{\frac{63-64\gamma}{52}}+\theta} \end{equation*} and such that pi=[ni1/γ]p_i=[n_i^{1/\gamma}], i=1,2,3i=1,\,2,\,3.
