Abstract
We prove that for all constants , , , , the fractions lie dense in the interval (respectively if ), where . This interval is the largest possible, since it may happen that isolated fractions lie outside of the interval: we prove a complete determination of the case where this happens, which yields an algorithm that calculates the amount of such that for coprime and any . Furthermore, this leads to an interesting open question which is a generalization of a famous problem raised by V.~Arnold. For the fractions with constants , we prove that they lie dense in exactly if .
