Abstract:
We obtain several new bounds for sums of the form
Sq(x;f)=∑′n⩽xf(n)eq(an∗+bn),
in which q is a sufficiently large integer,
√q(logq)≪x⩽q, a and b are integers with
(a,q)=1, eq(v)=e2πiv/q, f(n) is a multiplicative function
satisfying certain conditions, nn^*\equiv 1 \pmod{q}, and the prime in the sum
means that (n,q)=1. The results in this paper refine similar bounds obtained
earlier by Gong and Jia.
