Abstract
In a recent paper, we proved that for any large enough odd modulus and fixed coprime to , the congruence has a solution of with coprime to of height for, in a sense, almost all , where runs over the reduced residue classes modulo . Here it was of significance that , so we broke a natural barrier. In this paper, we average the moduli in addition, establishing the existence of a solution of height for almost all pairs , with large enough, , coprime to and running over the reduced residue classes modulo .
