Abstract

In this paper, we study Ramanujan sums \(c_{\mathcal {J}}({\mathcal {I}})\), where \({\mathcal {I}}\) and \({\mathcal {J}}\) are integral ideals in an arbitrary quadratic number field. In particular, the asymptotic behaviour of sums of \(c_{\mathcal {J}}({\mathcal {I}})\) over both \({\mathcal {I}}\) and \({\mathcal {J}}\) is investigated.
