We give estimates of two exponential sums over finite fields for which Weil's estimates fail. Using our estimates and Cohen's sieve method, we prove the conjecture of Hansen and Mullen for the second coefficient in characteristic two when the degree Υ7.
The main purpose of this paper is using the analytic method to study the mean value properties of the two-term exponential sums with Dirichlet characters, and give an explicit formula for its fourth power mean.
An upper bound estimate of high-dimensional Cochrane sums is given in this note using Weinstein's version of Deligne's estimate for the hyper-Kloosterman sum and a mean value theorem of Dirichlet L-functions.
