On the Dedekind sums and the quadratic Gauss sums

On the Dedekind sums and the quadratic Gauss sums

In this paper, we use the analytic method and properties of the Gauss sums to study one kind of mean value computational problem involving the Dedekind sums and the quadratic Gauss sums, and give an exact computational formula and asymptotic formula for it.
