By considering the action of the Hecke operators on the logarithm of the Dedekind eta function together with the modular transformation formula for this function, Knopp (8) proved an extension of an identity of Dedekind for the classical Dedekind sums first mentioned by H. Petersson. By looking at the action of the Hecke operators on certain Lambert series studied by Apostol(l) together with the transformation formulae for these series, Parson and Rosen (9) established an analogous identity for a type of generalized Dedekind sum. A special case of this identity was initially proved by Carlitz(6). In this note an elementary proof of these identities is given. The Hecke operators are applied directly to the Dedekind sums without invoking the transformation formulae for the logarithm of the eta function or for the Lambert series. (Recently, L. Goldberg has given another elementary proof of Knopp's identity.)

By considering a contour integral of a cotangent sum, we give a simple derivation of a transformation formula of the series A ( τ , s ) = ∑ n = 1 ∞ σ s − 1 ( n ) e 2 π i n τ for complex s under the action of the modular group on τ in the upper half plane. Some special cases directly give expressions of generalized Dedekind sums as cotangent sums.

Dedekind used the classical Dedekind sum [Formula: see text] to describe the transformation of [Formula: see text] under the substitution [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we use the Dedekind sum [Formula: see text] in function fields to describe the transformation of a certain series under the substitution [Formula: see text].

AbstractLet ((x)) =x−⌊x⌋−1/2 be the swatooth function. Ifa, b, cand e are positive integeral, then the integral or ((ax)) ((bx)) ((cx)) ((ex)) over the unit interval involves Apolstol's generalized Dedekind sums. By expressing this integral as a lattice-point sum we obtain an elementary method for its evaluation. We also give an elementary proof of the reciprocity law for the third generalized Dedekind sum.

We prove an identity involving Nörlund polynomials, the proof of which is elementary and involves the enumeration of lattice points. The identity is slightly stronger than an identity of Carlitz which he obtained by using Apostol's transformation formula for Lambert series.

In this article, we will give a new proof of the reciprocity law for Dedekind sums, as well as a proof of the transformation formula for the Dedekind [Formula: see text]-function using the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

The main purpose of this paper is to obtain a new transformation formula involving the derived WP-Bailey pair. As applications, by using two 10?9 summation formulas, some transformation formulas in terms of generalized Lambert series are obtained.
