Abstract

For HN112cln2NH \ge N^{1-\frac{1}{2c}} \ln^2 N, where cc is a fixed non-integer number satisfying c3c(2[c]+11)lnlnNlnN,c>43(1+52lnlnNlnN), \|c\| \ge 3c\left(2^{[c]+1}-1\right)\frac{\ln \ln N}{\ln N}, \qquad c > \frac{4}{3}\left(1 + \frac{52\ln \ln N}{\ln N}\right), we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a sufficiently large integer NN in the form p1+p2+[nc]=N, p_{1} + p_{2} + [n^{c}] = N, where p1,p2p_{1}, p_{2} are prime numbers, nn is a natural number, and pkμkNH,k=1,2,[nc]μ3NH, |p_{k} - \mu_{k}N| \le H,\qquad k = 1,2,\qquad |[n^{c}] - \mu_{3}N| \le H, with μ1,μ2,μ3\mu_{1}, \mu_{2}, \mu_{3} being fixed positive constants satisfying μ1+μ2+μ3=1\mu_{1} + \mu_{2} + \mu_{3} = 1. Keywords: Estermann problem, almost proportional summands, short exponential sum with a non-integer power of a natural number. Bibliography: 21 references.
