Abstract

For n3n \geq 3, an asymptotic formula is derived for the number of representations of a sufficiently large natural number NN in the form p1+p2+mn=Np_1+p_2+m^n=N, where p1p_1, p2p_2 - prime numbers, mm - natural number satisfying the conditions pkμkNH,k=1,2,mnμ3NH,HN11n(n1)L2n+1n1+n1, \left|p_k-\mu_kN\right|\le H, \quad k=1,2,\qquad \left|m^n-\mu_3N\right|\le H,\qquad H \ge N^{1-\frac1{n(n-1)}} {\mathscr{L}}^{\frac{2^{n+1}}{n-1}+n-1}, for μ1+μ2+μ3=1,  μi>0,L=lnN.\mu_1+\mu_2+\mu_3=1, \ \ \mu_i >0, \mathscr{L} = \ln{N}. Keywords: Estermann problem, almost proportional summands, short exponential sum of G. Weyl, small neighborhood of centers of major arcs. Bibliography: 20 titles.
