On a generalization of a theorem of Popov

Abstract

In this paper, we obtain sharp estimates for the number of lattice points under and near the dilation of a general parabola, the former generalizing an old result of Popov. We apply Vaaler's lemma and the Erd\H{o}s-Turan inequality to reduce the two underlying counting problems to mean values of a certain quadratic exponential sums, whose treatment is subject to classical analytic techniques.
