## The sequence of fractional parts of roots

### Abstrakty

EN
We study the function $M_{θ}(n) = ⌊1/{θ^{1/n}}⌋$, where θ is a positive real number, ⌊·⌋ and {·} are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. Nathanson proved, among other properties of $M_{θ}$, that if log θ is rational, then for all but finitely many positive integers n, $M_{θ}(n) = ⌊n/log θ - 1/2⌋$. We extend this by showing that, without any condition on θ, all but a zero-density set of integers n satisfy $M_{θ}(n) = ⌊n/log θ - 1/2⌋$. Using a metric result of Schmidt, we show that almost all θ have asymptotically (log θ log x)/12 exceptional n ≤ x. Using continued fractions, we produce uncountably many θ that have only finitely many exceptional n, and also give uncountably many explicit θ that have infinitely many exceptional n.
