On the Dedekind sums and two-term exponential sums

Abstract

In this paper, the authors use the analytic methods and the properties of character sums mod p to study the computational problem of one kind of mean value involving the classical Dedekind sums and two-term exponential sums, and give an exact computational formula for it.

Keywords
