Abstract

Let f be a Maass cusp form and \(\lambda _f(n)\) be the n-th normalized Fourier coefficients of f at the cusp \(\infty \). In this paper, we are interested in estimating the sum

$$\begin{aligned} \sum _{n\le x}\lambda _{k,f} (n^j):=\sum _{n={n_1}{n_2}\dots {n_k}\le x} \lambda _f(n_1^j)\cdots \lambda _f(n_k^j), \end{aligned}$$

where \(k \ge 2 \) is an integer, and \(j=1,2,3,4.\) In particular, when \(k=3\), \( j=1\) we improve a previous result of Wang (Acta Math Hungar 153:509–523, 2017).
