For any 0<α<10<\alpha<1, let f(α,n)=1log⁡n∑1≤k≤n(12−{αk}).f(\alpha,n)=\frac{1}{\log n}\sum_{1\leq k\leq n}(\tfrac{1}{2}-\{ \alpha k\}). Does f(α,n)f(\alpha,n) have an asymptotic distribution function? In other words, is there a non-decreasing function gg such that g(−∞)=0g(-\infty)=0, g(∞)=1g(\infty)=1, and lim⁡n→∞∣{α∈(0,1):f(α,n)≤c}∣=g(c)?\lim_{n\to \infty}\lvert \{ \alpha\in (0,1): f(\alpha,n)\leq c\}\rvert=g(c)?
