| The distribution of an integer and its inverse mod q is a current topic in number theory,many experts and scholars have studied it,a scries of impotant results have been obtianed.The paper introduce the distribution of the differ-ence of different integer power mod q,it is a generalization of the distribution of an integer and its inverse mod q.By using some methods in elementary number theory,analytic number theory,uniting the trigonometric sums and the estima-tion for the two-term exponential sums,the paper study the mean value of the difference of the integer power mod q and give interesting asymptotic formula.The results are as followsLet p be a prime and a be a positive integer,q =pα,m1,m2 be constants of different positive integers,0<δ,λ1,λ2<1 be real constants,k be any non-negative integer.1.For any integer a with 1<a<q,(a,q)= 1,there exist unique integer b with 1 ≤ b≤ q such that b = am1(mod q),denote it by(am1)q.If q>[1/δ],the paper study the distribution of the difference of the integer power mod q and get the asymptotic formula,as follows where ∑’ denotes a summation over all a such that(a,q)= 1,ε>0 be any real constants,O denotes some constants with δ,m1,m2,k;2.If q>max{[1/λ1],[1/λ2]},the paper study a generalized D.H.Lehmer prob-lem over incomplete intervals,give an interesting asymptotic formula where O denotes some constants with λ1,λ2,m1,m2,k. |
