Abstract
Johnson [1] evaluated the sum ∑d|n|C(d;r)|, where C(n;r) denotes Ramanujan's
trigonometric sum. This evaluation has been generalized to a wide class of arithmetical functions of
two variables. In this paper, we generalize this evaluation to a wide class of arithmetical functions
of several variables and deduce as special cases the previous evaluations.
