A Certain Generalized Dedekind Sum

open access: yesTokyo Journal of Mathematics, 1987
The author defines two generalizations of the classical Dedekind sums which involve powers of roots of unity and the greatest integer function. (These are also analogues of sums studied by \textit{L. Carlitz} [Fibonacci Q. 15, 78-84 (1977; Zbl 0362.10004)].) His goal is to evaluate these sums and give reciprocity relations for them.

Dedekind and Hardy sums [PDF]

open access: yesActa Arithmetica, 1987
This paper collects together a number of results concerning the classical Dedekind sum and the so-called Hardy sums which are of a similar character. One of the many results stated in the paper gives simple explicit formulas for the Hardy sums in terms of Dedekind sums.

Cotangent sums, a further generalization of Dedekind sums

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 1984
Let \(\cot(z)=\cot \pi z\) if \(z\neq\) integer, \(\cot(z)=0\) otherwise. The cotangent sums considered here are \[ (1/c)\sum_{\nu mod c}\cot(- x+a(\nu +z)/c) \cot(-y+b(\nu +z)/c) \] where a,b,c are positive integers coprime in pairs, and x,y,z are real numbers in the interval [0,1). The author derives a three-term relation which, in the special case \(

A note on hardy type sums and Dedekind sums

open access: yesFilomat, 2016
In [9], Cetin et al. defined a new special finite sum which is denoted by C1(h,k). In this paper, with the help of two-term polynomial relation, we will give the explicit values of the sum C1(h,k). We will see that for the odd values of h and k, this sum only depends on one variable.

Denominators of Dedekind sums

open access: yesJournal of Number Theory, 1977
AbstractA necessary and sufficient condition is given for a positive integer to appear as the denominator of some reduced Dedekind sum.
