    For rational x let \(den^{\alpha} x\) be the \(\alpha\) th power of the denominator of x, where \(\alpha\) is a fixed complex number. This function is regarded as an analogue of the inhomogeneous Dedekind sum \(D(h/k):=s(h,k)\). Formulas corresponding to the reciprocity, Petersson- Knopp and Subrahmanyam ones for D(x) are given to \(den^{\alpha} x\) after the manner of the author's paper [Acta Arith. 44, 207-214 (1984; Zbl 0512.10007)].
