1 Introduction
Our starting point is the following identities. Let and be relatively prime positive integers and .
(0) ((1.1) in [2]) For any complex number ,
[TABLE]
(1) ((1.2) in [2]) If is even, then
[TABLE]
(2) ((1.4) in [2]) If is odd, then
[TABLE]
(3) ((1.3) in [2]) If is even, then
[TABLE]
(4) ((1.5) in [2]) If is odd, then
[TABLE]
The formula (1.1) was given by Fukuhara [2]. Precisely, in [2], Fukuhara pointed out that (1.1) is derived from specialization of Dieter’s formula (Theorem 2.4 of [1]) and proved (1.2) - (1.5). Further, he compared the coefficients of Laurent expansions at of identities (1.1) - (1.5) and obtained reciprocity laws for Dedekind-Apostol sums. The most simplest case of his reciprocity laws are the following.
(0) ((1.11) in [2]) If and are relatively prime positive integers, then
[TABLE]
(1) ((1.12) in [2]) If is even, then
[TABLE]
(2) ((1.14) in [2]) If is odd, then
[TABLE]
(3) ((1.13) in [2]) If is even, then
[TABLE]
(4) ((1.15) in [2]) If is odd, then
[TABLE]
On the other hand, Fukuhara and Yui obtained the following elliptic function identity (Theorem 2.1 in [3]) which is regarded as an elliptic analogue of the trigonometric identity (1.1). If is odd, then
[TABLE]
where is the Jacobi elliptic function (see Section 2). From this elliptic function identity, Fukuhara and Yui also gave reciprocity laws (Theorem 2.2 in [3]) for the elliptic Dedekind-Apostol sums
[TABLE]
where is the -th derivative of the . The simplest case of Fukuhara-Yui’s reciprocity is the following (Lemma 3.1 in [3])
[TABLE]
which is an elliptic analogue of the reciprocity law (1.6) for the classical Dedekind sum
[TABLE]
In this article, we give an elliptic analogue of (1.2) - (1.5) and (1.7) - (1.10). The content of this paper is as follows. In Section 2, we introduce the elliptic functions , , , and list their fundamental properties. Section 3 is the main part of this article and we prove our main results (Theorem 3, Theorem 4 and Corollary 5). In Section 4, we give all the examples of Theorem 3 and Corollary 5.

3 Main results
Under the following we assume and are relatively prime positive numbers and . We mention and prove the main theorem.
Theorem 3**.**
*If or is odd, then *
[TABLE]
Proof.
We put
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Under the condition or , we claim that
[TABLE]
First we show that and have same periodicity. From periodicity (2.32), for any integers and we have
[TABLE]
Similarly, for we have
[TABLE]
Thus we obtain double periodicity of
[TABLE]
Next we consider all the poles of and their Laurent expansions. We remark that , and are holomorphic at . Actually, since and are relatively prime positive integers, the Laurent expansions of at is the following.
[TABLE]
On the other hand, from (2.36) and (2.33), we have
[TABLE]
Then we obtain the Laurent expansion of at
[TABLE]
Hence we investigate other poles. By the definition or partial fractional expansion (2.34) of , all other poles of and are
[TABLE]
or
[TABLE]
Furthermore, all the poles are simple and the residues at these poles are equal. Actually, from (2.35), we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Thus for , and ,
[TABLE]
Similarly, for , and we have

Therefore is an entire function.
Summarizing the above discussion, is a doubly periodic entire function on . Then by the well-known Liouville theorem, there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
If is odd, changing the variable from to , we have
[TABLE]
Here the second equality follows from double periodicity (3.2). If is even, from the assumption of theorem, then is odd. Hence, changing the variable from to , we have
[TABLE]
Therefore in any cases and we obtain the conclusion. ∎
Expanding both side of (3.1) and comparing coefficients of , we obtain reciprocity laws for elliptic Dedekind sums, which is a natural generalization of Fukuhara-Yui’s main result (Theorem 2.2 (1) in [3]).

In particular, considering the case of of (3.4) or taking the limit in (3.3), we obtain reciprocity laws for elliptic Dedekind sums.
