One kind power mean of the hybrid Gauss sums

Abstract

In this paper, we use the analysis method and the properties of trigonometric sums to study the computational problem of one kind power mean of the hybrid Gauss sums. After establishing some relevant lemmas, we give an exact computational formula for it. As an application of our result, we give an exact formula for the number of solutions of one kind diagonal congruence equation mod p, where p be an odd prime.
