A reciprocity and four-term relation for generalized Dedekind sums

On Reciprocity Formulas for Apostol’s Dedekind Sums and Their Analogues

Using the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula, we give alternative proofs for the reciprocity formulas of Apostol’s Dedekind sums and generalized Hardy-Berndt sums s3,p(b, c) and s4,p(b, c). We also obtain an integral representation for each sum.

Generating functions and generalized Dedekind sums

We study sums of the form ∑ ζ R(ζ), where R is a rational function and the sum is over all nth roots of unity ζ (often with ζ = 1 excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for ∏ ζ(1− xR(ζ)). Multisection ca...

Asymptotic Formulas and Generalized Dedekind Sums

A generalization of the reciprocity law of multiple Dedekind sums

— Various multiple Dedekind sums were introduced by B.C.Berndt, L.Carlitz, S.Egami, D.Zagier and A.Bayad. In this paper, noticing the Jacobi form in Bayad [4], the cotangent function in Zagier [23], Egami’s result on cotangent functions [14] and their reciprocity laws, we study a special case of the Jacobi forms in Bayad [4] and deduce a generalization of Egami’s result on cotangent functions a...

On the General Dedekind Sums and Two-Term Exponential Sums

We use the analytic methods and the properties of Gauss sums to study the computational problem of one kind hybrid mean value involving the general Dedekind sums and the two-term exponential sums, and give an interesting computational formula for it.
