Abstract

A diophantine system is studied from which is deduced an analogue of van der Corput's A5-process in order to bound analytic exponential sums of the form . The saving has now to be taken to the exponent 1/20 instead of 1/32. Our main application is a “ninth derivative test” for exponential sums which is essential for giving new exponent pairs in [3].
