Jul 11, 2014 at 20:51 comment added GH from MO Note that $x+x^{-1}=p$ occurs iff $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$.
Jul 11, 2014 at 20:40 comment added Farzad Aryan I edited the question a bit, I hope it is more clear now. I am interested in the distribution of these residues $x$ (such that $x+_{_{\bf Z}}x^{-1}>p$). So this incomplete Kloosterman sum would help understanding the distribution.

Jul 11, 2014 at 20:15 comment added Seva I understand, but this interpretation does not look very natural to me; and so, I would be interested to learn where this problem came from.
Jul 11, 2014 at 20:10 comment added Farzad Aryan $x$ modulo $p$ is a number between $0$ and $p-1$, same for x^{-1}. Therefore sum(in \matcal(Z)) of these two numbers can be bigger or smaller than $p$. I need to restrict the sum to those $x$ modulo $p$ for which $x+x^{-1}>p$ and find an upper bound.
Jul 11, 2014 at 17:45 comment added Seva The condition $x+x^{-1}>p$ looks rather artificial since it is natural to consider $x$ and $x^{-1}$ as elements of ${\mathbb F}_p$, and so $x+x^{-1}\in{\mathbb F}_p$, too. Could you explain the motivation behind your question?
