A congruence sum and rational approximations
Published 2017-01-23Version 1
We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula is a simple consequence of this fact.
