Letq≥5be an odd number. In this paper, we study the fourth power mean of certain character sums∑χmodq,χ-1=-1*∑1≤a≤q/4aχa4and∑χmodq,χ-1=1*∑1≤a≤q/4aχa4, where∑‍*denotes the summation over primitive characters moduloq, and give some asymptotic formulae.

We use analytic methods to obtain an explicit formula for the fourth power mean [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is a Dirichlet character modulo [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] denotes the summation over all [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. This extends the result of Chen, Ai and Cai by overcoming the limitation [Formula: see text].

In this article, our main purpose is to introduce a new and generalized quadratic Gauss sum. By using analytic methods, the properties of classical Gauss sums, and character sums, we consider the calculating problem of its fourth power mean and give two interesting computational formulae for it.

<abstract><p>Denote by $ \chi $ a Dirichlet character modulo $ q\geq 3 $, and $ \overline{a} $ means $ a\cdot\overline{a} \equiv 1 \bmod q $.

Relying on the properties of character sums and Gauss sums, we obtain W. P. Zhang and T. T. Wang's identity <sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b6">6</xref>]</sup> under a more relaxed situation. We also derive some new identities for the fourth power mean of it by adding some new ingredients.</p></abstract>

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new mixed exponential sums and then use the analytic methods and the properties of Gauss sums to study the computational problems of the mean value involving these sums and give an interesting computational formula and a sharp upper bound estimate for these mixed exponential sums. As an application, we give a new asymptotic formula for the fourth power mean of DirichletL-functions with the weight of these mixed exponential sums.

In this paper, we use the elementary methods and properties of classical Gauss sums to study the calculation problems of some mean values of character sums of special polynomials, and obtained several interesting calculation formulae for them. As an application, we give a criterion for determining that 2 is the cubic residue for any odd prime p.
