Extract

A number of authors, including Apostol [1], Carlitz [2], Mikolás [5] and Rademacher [9] have obtained linear relations for the Dedekind sums

(the inhomogeneous sum) and the homogeneous sum

Here denotes the periodic extension into ℝ of the Bernoulli polynomial Bm(X) on [0, 1] given by the relation

with the exception that we define
