A computable formula for evaluating the mean square sum of L-functions

Abstract: For Dirichlet characters

c h i

mod

k

where

k g e q 3

, we here give a computable formula for evaluating the mean square sums

s u m l i m i t s_{s u b s t a c k c h i e x t m o d k χ (- 1) = (- 1)^{r}} | L (r, c h i) |^{2}

for any positive integer

r

. We also give an inductive formula for computing the sum

s u m l i m i t s_{s u b s t a c k 1 l e q m l e q k (m, k) = 1} f r a c 1 l e f t (s i n l e f t (f r a c p i m k i g h t) i g h t)^{2 n}

where

n

is a positive integer in terms of Bernoulli numbers and binomial coefficients.
