Abstract:
In the paper we obtain a new bound for short Kloosterman sums modulo a prime
with a weight. The derivation of the bound is based on Karatsuba's
method (1993–1995) of estimating incomplete Kloosterman sums and on a modification of the method proposed by Bourgain and Garaev (2014).
The theorems proved in the paper refine results obtained earlier by
Korolev (2010).
Keywords:short Kloosterman sums, reciprocals modulo a given integer.
