Abstract
Let Am,n(a)=j=0∑m(−4)j(2jm+j)k=0∑n−1sin(a+2kπ/n)cos2j(a+2kπ/n) and Bm,n(a)=j=0∑m(−4)j(2j+1m+j+1)k=0∑n−1sin(a+2kπ/n)cos2j+1(a+2kπ/n), where m≥0 and n≥1 are integers and a is a real number. We present two proofs for the following results: (i) If 2m+1≡0(\mboxmodn), then Am,n(a)=(−1)mnsin((2m+1)a). (ii) If 2m+1≡0(\mboxmodn), then Am,n(a)=0. (iii) If 2(m+1)≡0(\mboxmodn), then Bm,n(a)=(−1)m2nsin(2(m+1)a). (iv) If 2(m+1)≡0(\mboxmodn), then Bm,n(a)=0.
