On a generalization of Kloosterman sums (Q2353724)

For integers \(u, v, w\) and natural numbers \(q\), \(d\) with \(d\mid q\). We define \[ K_{q,d}\left(u, v; w\right)=\mathop{\mathop{\sum_{z=1}^{q}}_{(z,q)=1}}_{z\equiv w \;(\bmod d)} e\left(\frac{uz+vz^{-1}}{q}\right), \] where \(e(x)=\text{e}^{2\pi ix}\). Denote \[ \delta_q(n)=\begin{cases} 1, & \text{if } n\equiv 0 \;(\bmod\;q),\\ 0, & \text{if } n\not\equiv 0 \;(\bmod\;q). \end{cases} \] Let \(\displaystyle D=\left(d, \frac{q}{d}\right)\), and let \((w,d)=1\). The author proves that \[ \left|K_{q,d}\left(u, v; w\right)\right|\leq \delta_{D}\left(u-vw^{-2}\right)\tau(q) \left(u,v,q\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}q^{\frac{1}{2}}, \] where \(\tau(q)\) is the number of divisors of \(q\).
