## TL;DR

This paper calculates a formula for a specific mathematical property of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions in a function field setting.

## Contribution

The paper provides an asymptotic formula for mixed second moments of derivatives of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with prime conductor.

## Key findings

- An asymptotic formula is derived for mixed second moments of derivatives of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions.
- The computation is done in the function field setting with monic, irreducible polynomials.
- The results apply to the μ-th and ν-th derivatives of these L-functions.
