By using the analytic methods, the mean value of the general quadratic Gauss sums weighted by the first power mean of character sums over a short interval is investigated. Several sharp asymptotic formulae are obtained, which show that these sums enjoy good distributive properties. Moreover, interesting connections among them are established.

In this paper, using analytic method and the properties of the Legendre's symbol, we prove an exact calculating formula on the $2m$-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums for $m{\geq}2$. This solves a conjecture of He and Zhang [On the 2k-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums, Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 48 (2011), no. 1, 9-15].

The main purpose of this paper is using the elementary and analytic methods to study the properties of the 2k-th power mean value of the generalized quadratic Gauss sums, and give two exact mean value formulae for k = 3 and 4.
