Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Myerson and Phillips on when an expression involving Dedekind sums is an integer. We also provide a more general result and use this to extend the work of Myerson and Phillips studying whether the points of the graph of the one-variable Dedekind sum that fall on the line are dense.
