The Recursive Properties of the Error Term of the Fourth Power Mean of the Generalized Cubic Gauss Sums

In this paper, we use the analytic methods and the properties of the classical Gauss sums to study the properties of the error term of the fourth power mean of the generalized cubic Gauss sums and give two recurrence formulae for it.

On the Hybrid Fourth Power Mean Involving Legendre’s Symbol and One Kind Two-Term Exponential Sums

The main purpose of this article is using the elementary methods and the properties of the quadratic residue modulo an odd prime p to study the calculating problem of the fourth power mean of one kind two-term exponential sums and give an interesting calculating formula for it.

Dirichlet characters of the rational polynomials

<abstract><p>Denote by $ \chi $ a Dirichlet character modulo $ q\geq 3 $, and $ \overline{a} $ means $ a\cdot\overline{a} \equiv 1 \bmod q $. In this paper, we study Dirichlet characters of the rational polynomials in the form</p> <p><disp-formula> <label/> <tex-math id="FE1"> \begin{document}$ \sum\limits^{q}_{a = 1}'\chi(ma+\overline{a}), $\end{document} </tex-math></disp-formula></p> <p>where $ \sum\limits_{a = 1}^{q}' $ denotes the summation over all $ 1\le a\le q $ with $ (a, q) = 1 $. Relying on the properties of character sums and Gauss sums, we obtain W. P. Zhang and T. T. Wang's identity ^{[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6</xref>]} under a more relaxed situation. We also derive some new identities for the fourth power mean of it by adding some new ingredients.</p></abstract>

A new fourth power mean of two-term exponential sums

The main purpose of this paper is to use analytic methods and properties of quartic Gauss sums to study a special fourth power mean of a two-term exponential sums modp, with p an odd prime, and prove interesting new identities. As an application of our results, we also obtain a sharp asymptotic formula for the fourth power mean.

The Generalized Quadratic Gauss Sum and Its Fourth Power Mean

In this article, our main purpose is to introduce a new and generalized quadratic Gauss sum. By using analytic methods, the properties of classical Gauss sums, and character sums, we consider the calculating problem of its fourth power mean and give two interesting computational formulae for it.
