In a commutative ring R with unity, a unit u is called exceptional if \(u-1\) is also a unit. For \(R = {\mathbb {Z}}/n{\mathbb {Z}}\) and for any \(f(X) \in {\mathbb {Z}}[X]\), an element \({\overline{u}} \in {\mathbb {Z}}/n{\mathbb {Z}}\) is called an “f-exunit” if \(gcd(f(u),n) = 1\). Recently, we obtained the number of representations of a non-zero element of \({\mathbb {Z}}/n{\mathbb {Z}}\) as a sum of two f-exunits for a particular infinite family of polynomials \(f(X) \in {\mathbb {Z}}[X]\). In this paper, we complete this problem by proving a similar formula for any non-constant polynomial \(f(X) \in {\mathbb {Z}}[X]\).

关于$$ \ mathbb {Z} / n \ mathbb {Z} $$ Z / n Z中的f -exunits问题
在具有1的交换环R中,如果\(u-1 \)也是一个单位,则将u称为例外。对于\(R = {\ mathbb {Z}} / n {\ mathbb {Z}} \)和任何\(f(X)\ in {\ mathbb {Z}} [X] \)中,元素\如果\(gcd(f(u),n)= 1,则{{\ overline {u}} \ in {\ mathbb {Z}} / n {\ mathbb {Z}} \中的\)被称为“ f -exunit” \)。最近,对于一个特定的无限多项式族,我们获得了一个非零元素\({\ mathbb {Z}} / n {\ mathbb {Z}} \)的表示形式,作为两个f单位之和。\(f(X)\ in {\ mathbb {Z}} [X] \)。在本文中,我们通过为{\ mathbb {Z}} [X] \)中的任何非常数多项式\(f(X)\)证明相似的公式来解决此问题。
