Oct 30, 2013 at 16:13 comment added Abhinav Kumar You apply it with $x = r^2$. It gives a lattice point $(a,b)$ with $n = a^2 + b^2$, where $n$ is between $r$ and $\sqrt{r^2 + C\sqrt{r}}$. Therefore the distance to the circle is $\sqrt{n} - r$, but $r = \sqrt{r^2} \leq \sqrt{n} \leq \sqrt{r^2 + Cr^{1/2}} = r(1 + r^{-3/2}/2 ) = r + r^{-1/2}/2$.
Oct 30, 2013 at 15:53 comment added Vít Tuček I don't understand. Doesn't this give only a bound $\beta(r) \leq Cr^{\frac{1}{4}}$?
