Introduction. If ξ is a real number we denote by ∥ ξ ∥ the difference between ξ and the nearest integer, i.e.

It is well known (e.g. Koksma (3), I, Satz 4) that if θ1, θ2, …, θn are any real numbers, the inequality

has infinitely many integer solutions q > 0. In particular, if α is any real number, the inequality

has infinitely many solutions.
