Let q≥3 be a sufficiently large prime,x be a real number such that (ln q)≪x≤q,χ be any non-principal character mod q,f(n) be a multiplicative function satisfying |f(n)|≤1.It is obtained that several new bounds for sums of the form wq(χ,f,x)=f(n)χ(n) where Fx(H;k)={n∈Z|(n,q)=1,1≤n≤x,|(nk)q-()q|≤H}, is defined by n≡1(mod q),eq(v)=e2πiv/q and (a)q means that the minimal positive residue of that a mod q.
