✦ Synopsis
In this paper, we study on two subjects. We first construct degenerate analogues of Dedekind sums in the sense of Apostol, Carlitz and Takács, and prove the corresponding reciprocity formulas. Secondly, we define generalized Dedekind character sums, which are explicit extensions of Berndt's definition, and prove the reciprocity laws. From the derived reciprocity laws, we obtain Berndt's reciprocity laws as special cases.

Let p 3 be a prime number, b 2 a primitive root mod p and z an integer, 1 z p&1. The digit expansion of zÂp with respect to the basis b has a period consisting of the first p&1 digits c 1 , ..., c p&1 . We express the variance \_ 2 of c 1 , ..., c p&1 in terms of the Dedekind sum s( p, b) and invest
Coding-theoretical methods are used to obtain improved lower bounds for character sums induced by a multiplicative character of an arbitrary order over GF(q).

We study the number of lattice points in integer dilates of the rational polytope x k a k 41 ( ) where a 1 ; . . . ; a n are positive integers. This polytope is closely related to the linear Diophantine problem of Frobenius: given relatively prime positive integers a 1 ; . . . ; a n ; find the lar
