Extract

We begin by introducing some notations which will be used throughout the paper. Let denote a sequence of distinct positive integers. Let B denote a measurable subset of [0, 1) and {x} the fractional part of x. We write

so that f has period 1 on the real line; and we write

for the number of times {mkx} falls in B, minus the expected value of this number (m(B) ≤ Lebesgue measure of B).
