Abstract
Let be large and let denote the set of primes. Fix positive real parameters and a parameter determined by a balancing relation, and let be the associated lacunary set generated by sums of powers of with polynomially growing exponents. Set . Fix , choose with , and set . We prove that for all but values of , the short interval contains integers of the form , where is prime and .
