Abstract
Dartyge and Sárközy (partly with other coauthors) introduced pseudorandom measures of subsets, and studied the pseudorandomness of certain subsets related to primitive roots. In this paper we answer a conjecture of Dartyge, Sárközy and Szalay, and study the pseudorandom properties of some subsets constructed by using primitive roots.
