Such solutions have a natural interpretation as solutions which are visible from the origin. These formulas are derived on average over 𝑎 for a fixed prime 𝑝, and also on average over 𝑝 for a fixed integer 𝑎.enmath.NT11N6911D79Reports2017-05-09Fields of Research::49 - Mathematical sciences::4904 - Pure mathematics::490401 - Algebra and number theory
