On the theorem of Davenport and generalized Dedekind sums

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

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.

On the Asymptotic Behavior of Dedekind Sums

Let z be a real quadratic irrational. We compare the asymptotic behavior of Dedekind sums S(pk, qk) belonging to convergents pk/qk of the regular continued fraction expansion of z with that of Dedekind sums S(sj/tj) belonging to convergents sj/tj of the negative regular continued fraction expansion of z. Whereas the three main cases of this behavior are closely related, a more detailed study of...

Note on Dedekind Type Dc Sums

In this paper we study the Euler polynomials and functions and derive some interesting formulae related to the Euler polynomials and functions. From those formulae we consider Dedekind type DC(Daehee-Changhee)sums and prove reciprocity laws related to DC sums.
