Partial sums of the cotangent function
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 32 (2020) no. 1, pp. 217-230.

Nous prouvons l’existence de formules de réciprocité pour des sommes de la forme m=1 k-1 f(m k)cot(πmh k), où f est une fonction C 1 par morceaux, qui met en évidence un phénomène d’alternance qui n’apparaît pas dans le cas classique où f(x)=x. Nous déduisons des majorations de ces sommes en termes du développement en fraction continue de h/k.

We prove the existence of reciprocity formulae for sums of the form m=1 k-1 f(m k)cot(πmh k) where f is a piecewise C 1 function, featuring an alternating phenomenon not visible in the classical case where f(x)=x. We deduce bounds for these sums in terms of the continued fraction expansion of h/k.
