Sur la variation de certaines suites de parties fractionnaires

Let $b > a > 0$. We prove the following asymptotic formula $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \big\lvert\{x/(n+a)\} - \{x/(n+b)\}\big\rvert = \frac{2}{\pi}\zeta(3/2)\sqrt{cx} + O(c^{2/9}x^{4/9}),$$ with $c=b-a$, uniformly for $x \ge 40 c^{-5}(1+b)^{27/2}$.
