The following paper is in two parts.
In Part 1 it is shown that Kronecker's theorem can be extended in the form
If is greater than ηfor all sets of integers l1, l2, … l3 less in absolute value than K/σ and not all zero, l also being an integer, then, for any x1, x2 … x3, an integer q less than l/(ησ8) can be found such that qv1–x1, qv2–x2…qv3–x4 all differ from integers by less than σ;. K, L depend only on s.
It is an immediate corollary that if
is greator than for all sets of integers l1, l2… l3, l less in absolute value than K/σ and not all zero while F(v1, v2… v3), l less in absolute value than K/σ and not all zero while F(v1, v2… v3, v) is periodic period 1, in v1, v2 … v3,v, then T can be found between 0 and such that
Where K, L depend on s, and N on s and the bounds of
