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 $L-$function and its derivative is evaluated at $s=0$. Some…

We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…
The article presents mathematical generalization of results which originated as solutions of practical problems, in particular, the modeling of transitional processes in electrical circuits and problems of resource allocation. However, the…
We obtain nontrivial estimates of quadratic character sums of division polynomials $\Psi_n(P)$, $n=1,2, ...$, evaluated at a given point $P$ on an elliptic curve over a finite field of $q$ elements. Our bounds are nontrivial if the order of…
Consider an irreducible finite Coxeter system. We show that for any nonnegative integer n the sum of the nth powers of the Coxeter exponents can be written uniformly as a polynomial in four parameters: h (the Coxeter number), r (the rank),…
We give a combinatorial proof of a formula giving the partial sums of the $k$-bonacci sequence as alternating sums of powers of two multiplied by binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a formula for the $k$-bonacci numbers.
This paper proves Burgess bounds for short mixed character sums in multi-dimensional settings. The mixed character sums we consider involve both an exponential evaluated at a real-valued multivariate polynomial, and a product of…
We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…
We evaluate the average of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums with the modulus going up to a size comparable to the length of the individual sums. This generalizes a result of Conrey, Farmer and Soundararajan on quadratic Dirichlet…
We show that an asymptotic property of the determinants of certain matrices whose entries are finite sums of cotangents with rational arguments is equivalent to the GRH for odd Dirichlet characters. This is then connected to the existence…
Nous prouvons l'existence de formules de r\'eciprocit\'e pour des sommes de la forme $\sum_{m=1}^{k-1} f(\frac{m}k) \cot(\pi\frac{mh}k)$, o\`u $f$ est une fonction $C^1$ par morceaux, qui met en \'evidence un ph\'enom\`ene d'alternance qui…
In this paper, we study the representation of pi as sum of arcotangents. In particular, we obtain new identities by using linear recurrent sequences. Moreover, we provide a method in order to express pi as sum of arcotangents involving the…
For integers $n,k \geq 1$, let $S_k(n)$ denote the power sum $1^k +2^k + \cdots + n^k$. In this note, we first recall the minimal recurrence relation connecting $S_k(n)$ and $S_{k-1}(n)$ established by Abramovich (1973). We then discuss an…
We study the double character sum $\sum\limits_{\substack{m\leq X,\\m\odd}}\sum\limits_{\substack{n\leq Y,\\n\odd}}\leg mn$ and its smoothly weighted counterpart. An asymptotic formula with power saving error term was obtained by Conrey,…
In this paper, we evaluate a smoothed character sum involving $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}\leg {m}{n}$, with quadratic, cubic or quartic Hecke characters $\leg {m}{n}$, and the two sums over $m$ and $n$ are of comparable lengths.
According to McKay (1980) the irreducible characters of finite subgroups of SU(2) are in a natural 1-1 correspondence with the extended Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type ADE. We show that the character values themselves can be given by an…

Power series in which the summand satisfies a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients are shown to be the solution of a linear differential or algebraic equation. Solving the associated differential or algebraic equation…
In this paper we study the finite trigonometric sum $\sum a_l\csc\big(\pi l/n\big)$, where $a_l$ are equal to $\cos(2\pi l \nu/n)$ and where the summation index $l$ and the discrete parameter $\nu$ both run through $1$ to $n-1$. This sum is…
