Summation formulae on trigonometric functions (Q2642168)

The authors investigate trigonometric sums over the angles equally distributed on the upper half plane. A typical result is as follows: Let \[ B^a_{1+2p}(n,y)= \sum^{n-1}_{k=0}(-1)^k\text{sec}^{1+2p}\left(y+ \frac{k\pi}{n}\right) \] then \[ \sum^\infty_{p=0}B^a_{1+2p}(n,y) z^{1+2p}=\frac{2nz}{\sqrt{1-z^2}}\frac{\cos ny\sin n\pi/2\cos (n\,\text{arc}\sin z)}{\{\cos(2n\,\text{arc}\sin z)+\cos 2n y\}} \] and \[ B^a_{1+2p}(n,y)=2^{2p+1}n\sin\frac{2\pi}{2}\sum^p_{m=0}\left(\frac {\text{sec\,}ny}{2}\right)^{2m+1}\cdot \sum^n_{j=-m}(-1)^{p+1}{2m \choose m+j}{jn+p-\frac {n+1}{2}\choose 2p}. \]
