Abstract

Let p\geq3 be a prime number and let m, n and l be integers with \gcd(l,p)=1. Let \chi be a Dirichlet character modulo p and L(s,\chi) be the Dirichlet L-function corresponding to \chi. Explicit formulas for:

    \[\dfrac{2}{p-1} \sum \limits\sb{\underset{\chi(-1)=+1}{\chi\hspace{-0.2cm} \mod p}} \chi(l) L(m,\chi)L(n,\overline{\chi}) \text{ and }\dfrac{2}{p-1} \sum \limits\sb{\underset{\chi(-1)=-1}{\chi\hspace{-0.2cm} \mod p}} \chi(l) L(m,\chi)L(n,\overline{\chi})\]

are given in this paper by using the properties of character sums and Bernoulli polynomials.
