Abstract

We estimate hybrid sums of multiplicative and additive characters "on average" over all initial values aa(0) = a with the sequences aa(n) over a finite field Fp, where p is prime, defined by a(n) = naa(n - 1) + 1, n = 1, 2,. Various arithmetic properties of such sequences have recently been studied in the literature.
