Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study generalized Hardy sums s 5(h, k). By using mediants and the adjacent difference of Farey fractions, we establish a relationship between s 5(h, k) and Farey fractions. Using generalized Dedekind sums and a generalized periodic Bernoulli function, we define generalized Hardy sums s 5,p (h,k). A relationship between s 5,p (h, k) and the Hurwitz zeta function is established. By using the definitions of Lambert series and cotπz, we establish a relationship between s 5(h,k) and Lambert series.
