Abstract

Let q>2q>2 be an odd integer. For each integer xx with 0<x<q0<x<q and (q,x)=1(q,x)= 1, we know that there exists one and only one xˉ\bar{x} with 0<xˉ<q0<\bar{x}<q such that xxˉ1(modq)x\bar{x}\equiv1(\bmod q). A Lehmer number is defined to be any integer aa with 2(a+aˉ)2\dagger(a+\bar{a}). For any nonnegative integer kk, Let M(x,q,k)=\displaystyle\mathop {\displaystyle\mathop{\sum{'}}_{a=1}^{q} \displaystyle\mathop{\sum{'}}_{b\leq xq}}_{\mbox{$\tiny\begin{array}{c} 2|a+b+1\\ ab\equiv1(\bmod q)\end{array}$}}(a-b)^{2k}. The main purpose of this paper is to study the properties of M(x,q,k)M(x,q,k), and give a sharp asymptotic formula, by using estimates of Kloosterman's sums and properties of trigonometric sums.
