A theorem providing an upper bound of the value of a Vinogradov integral:
where is the average value of the trigonometric sum. It is formulated as follows. If, for a non-negative integer one sets
then, if and for an integer ,
The estimate of given by Vinogradov's theorem is asymptotically exact. The theorem is fundamental in the Vinogradov method for estimating Weyl sums (cf. Weyl sum). In addition, it yielded a number of almost optimal results in classical problems in number theory (cf. Waring problem; Hilbert–Kamke problem; Distribution modulo one of a polynomial).
