When does a random trigonometric sum approximate $1$?

I am looking for an upper bound $R=R_{n,\varepsilon}$ such that for given $\varepsilon>0$ and real numbers $\alpha_1, \dotsc, \alpha_n$ in, say, $[1,2]$, there is $x\in [1,R]$ such that $$ \frac 1n\...

Is there a way to gain such an estimate?

This problem could be viewed as a polynomial generalization of the Lonely runner conjecture. And $p$, $n$ are taken sufficiently large. Take $n\in \mathbb{N}^*$ fixed, $A_p \subset (\mathbb{Z} / p \...

A question related to metric Diophantine approximation

In metric Diophantine approximation you are often interested in finding conditions on $(\phi(q))_{q \geq 1}$ which guarantee that $$ \left| \alpha - \frac{p}{q} \right| < \frac{\phi(q)}{q} $$ has ...

What is the mean-value of a particular exponential sum related to the non-trivial zeros of Riemann's zeta function?

This question arose from an earlier one and the MO user's useful answers there: What are the values of the derivative of Riemann's zeta function at the known non-trivial zeros? (which is not a ...
