Abstract

In this paper, we present the character analogue of the Boole summation formula. Using this formula, an integral representation is derived for the alternating Dirichlet LL-function and its derivative is evaluated at s=0s=0. Some applications of the character analogue of the Boole summation formula and the integral representation are given about the alternating Dirichlet LL-function. Moreover, the reciprocity formulas for two new arithmetic sums, arising from utilizing the summation formulas, and for Hardy--Berndt sum Sp(b,c:χ)S_{p}\left( b,c:\chi\right) are proved.
