On the distribution in the arithmetic progressions of reducible quadratic polynomials in short intervals, II
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 13 (2001) no. 1, pp. 93-102.

Ce texte donne de nouveaux résultats sur la répartition dans les progressions arithmétiques (modulo un produit de deux nombres premiers) des valeurs (an+b)(cn+d) prises par un polynôme quadratique réductible lorsque l’entier n varie dans des intervalles courts n[x,x+x ϑ ], où ϑ(0,1]. Nous utilisons ici la méthode de dispersion, pour obtenir un niveau de répartition au delà du niveau classique θ. Nous obtenons pour niveau 3ϑ/2, améliorant en cela la valeur 3ϑ-3/2 obtenue par le grand crible. Nous terminons par une comparaison graphique des deux approches.

This paper gives further results about the distribution in the arithmetic progressions (modulo a product of two primes) of reducible quadratic polynomials (an+b)(cn+d) in short intervals n[x,x+x ϑ ], where now ϑ(0,1]. Here we use the Dispersion Method instead of the Large Sieve to get results beyond the classical level ϑ, reaching 3ϑ/2 (thus improving also the level of the previous paper, i.e. 3ϑ-3/2), but our new results are different in structure. Then, we make a graphical comparison of the two methods.
