Mean-value theorem for multiple trigonometric sums on the sequence of Bell polynomials (Q2234374)

The Bell polynomials are defined naturally form the Faá di Bruno theorem on higher-order derivatives of a composite function. The author proves that Bell polynomials is a multidimensional analog of sequences of binomial-type polynomials such as the sequence of $x^n$, the sequence of lower (or upper) factorials, and the sequence of Abel polynomials. Based on this observation, a mean-value theorem for multiple trigonometric (exponential) sums on the sequence of Bell polynomials is proved. It generalizes I. M. Vinogradov's and G. I. Arkhipov's theorems. As an application of the mean-value theorem proved in the paper, an upper bound for an exponential sum is obtained.
