Abstract: In this paper, we introduce vast generalizations of the Hardy-Berndt sums. They involve higher-order Euler and/or Bernoulli functions, in which the variables are affected by certain linear shifts. By employing the Fourier series technique we derive linear relations for these sums. In particular, these relations yield reciprocity formulas for Carlitz, Rademacher, Mikol'{a}s and Apostol type generalizations of the Hardy-Berndt sums, and give rise to generalizations for some Goldberg's three-term relations. We also present an elementary proof for the Mikol'{a}s' linear relation and a reciprocity formula in terms of the generation function.


Hardy-Berndt sums are analogous to Dedekind sums, and they occur in the transformation formulas of the logarithms of the classical theta functions. In this paper the author introduces generalizations of Hardy-Berndt sums, which involve higher order Euler and Bernoulli functions. He uses the Fourier series technique to derive linear relations for these sums. These relations yield reciprocity formulas for generalized Hardy-Berndt sums and give rise to generalizations for some Goldberg's three-term relations. The paper also contains an elementary proof for the Mikolás linear relation and the reciprocity formula expressed in terms of the generalized function.
