Abstract

Let s(a,b)s(a,b) denote the classical Dedekind sum and S(a,b)=12s(a,b)S(a,b)=12s(a,b). Let k/qk/q, qNq\in \Bbb N, kZk\in \Bbb Z, (k,q)=1(k,q)=1, be the value of S(a,b)S(a,b). In a previous paper we showed that there are pairs (ar,br)(a_r,b_r), rNr\in\Bbb N, such that S(ar,br)=k/qS(a_r,b_r)=k/q for all rNr\in \Bbb N, the brb_r's growing in rr exponentially. Here we exhibit such a sequence with brb_r a polynomial of degree 44 in rr.
