Abstract
Bounds for subject to , prime, indivisible by , and belonging to some fixed Beatty sequence are obtained, assuming certain conditions on . The proof uses a method due to Banks and Shparlinski. As an intermediate step, bounds for the discrete periodic autocorrelation of the finite sequence on average are obtained, where and . The latter is accomplished by adapting a method due to Kloosterman.
