  • We investigate the explicit evaluation for the sum $\sum_{(a,b,x,y){\in}\mathbb{N}^4,\\{ax+by=n},\\{C(x,y)}$ ab in terms of various divisor functions (where C(x, y) is the set of residue conditions on x and y) for various fixed C(x, y). We also obtain some identities and congruences as interesting applications.
