Some identities and reciprocity relationsof unipoly-Dedekind type DC sums

Dedekind type DC sums and their generalizations are defined in terms of Euler functions and their generalization. Recently, Ma et al. (Adv. Differ. Equ. 2021:30 2021) introduced the poly-Dedekind type DC sums by replacing the Euler function appearing in Dedekind sums, and they were shown to satisfy a reciprocity relation. In this paper, we consider two kinds of new generalizations of the poly-Dedekind type DC sums. One is a unipoly-Dedekind type DC sum associated with the type 2 unipoly-Euler functions expressed in the type 2 unipoly-Euler polynomials using the modified polyexponential function, and we study some identities and the reciprocity relation for these unipoly-Dedekind type DC sums. The other is a unipoly-Dedekind sums type DC associated with the poly-Euler functions expressed in the unipoly-Euler polynomials using the polylogarithm function, and we derive some identities and the reciprocity relation for those unipoly-Dedekind type DC sums.

Reciprocity of poly-Dedekind-type DC sums involving poly-Euler functions

The classical Dedekind sums appear in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. The Dedekind sums and their generalizations are defined in terms of Bernoulli functions and their generalizations, and are shown to satisfy some reciprocity relations. In contrast, Dedekind-type DC (Daehee and Changhee) sums and their generalizations are defined in terms of Euler functions and their generalizations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the poly-Dedekind-type DC sums, which are obtained from the Dedekind-type DC sums by replacing the Euler function by poly-Euler functions of arbitrary indices, and to show that those sums satisfy, among other things, a reciprocity relation.

Poly-Dedekind sums associated with poly-Bernoulli functions

Apostol considered generalized Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in Dedekind sums by any Bernoulli functions and derived a reciprocity relation for them. Recently, poly-Dedekind sums were introduced by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in Dedekind sums by any type 2 poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices and were shown to satisfy a reciprocity relation. In this paper, we consider other poly-Dedekind sums that are obtained by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in Dedekind sums by any poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices. We derive a reciprocity relation for these poly-Dedekind sums.

Identities on poly-Dedekind sums

Dedekind sums occur in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. In 1892, Dedekind showed a reciprocity relation for the Dedekind sums. Apostol generalized Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in them by any Bernoulli functions and derived a reciprocity relation for the generalized Dedekind sums. In this paper, we consider the poly-Dedekind sums obtained from the Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function by any type 2 poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices and prove a reciprocity relation for the poly-Dedekind sums.
