ABSTRACT Let $\chi$ be a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime $p$. Let $q_1<q_2$ denote the two smallest prime non-residues of $\chi$. We give explicit upper bounds on $q_2$ that improve upon all known results. We also provide a good upper estimate on the product $q_1 q_2$ which has an upcoming application to the study of norm-Euclidean Galois fields.

[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In [2] E. Dobrowolski and K.S. Williams considered a problem of obtaining estimates for the sum n=a+1 a+N f(n),for a certain class of functions f. One specific application of their result is a new method for estimating character sums. In particular, they obtain a form of the Plya-Vinogradov inequality with the constant 1/(2 log 2). In this note we improve their estimates and obtain, in particular, a form of the Plya-Vinogradov inequality with the constant 1/(3 log 3). A nice feature of our estimate is that it is obtained by a very simple argument.
