Abstract
In this paper, we use the elementary methods, the properties of Dirichlet character sums and the classical Gauss sums to study the estimation of the mean value of high-powers for a special character sum modulo a prime, and derive an exact computational formula. It can be conveniently programmed by the “Mathematica” software, by which we can get the exact results easily.Keywords
