Abstract

This paper studies Menon-type identities involving both multiplicative characters and additive characters. In the paper, we shall give the explicit formula of the following sum (formula presented) where for a positive integer n, Z* n is the group of units of the ring Zn = Z/nZ, gcd represents the greatest common divisor, χ is a Dirichlet character modulo n, and for a nonnegative integer k, λ1,…, λk are additive characters of Zn. Our formula further extends the previous results by Sury [13], Zhao-Cao [17] and Li-Hu-Kim [4].
