Abstract Let λ f (n) be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of full level. We study a generalized divisor problem with λ f (n) over some special sequences. More precisely, for any fixed integer k ≥ 2 and j ∈ {1, 2, 3, 4}, we are interested in the following sums Sk (x, j) :=

1 Introduction Let λ f (n) denote the normalized Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form f (z) of even positive integral weight κ ≥ 2 for the full modular group S L 2 (Z), and f (z) is also an eigenform of all the Hecke operators. Then we have Tn f = λ f (n) f for n ∈  N, and λ f (1) = 1. The Fourier series expansion of f (z) at the cusp ∞ is (κ−1)/2 e(nz). Associated to f , there is an L-function L(s, f ), f (z) = ∞ n=1 λ f (n)n which is defined as L(s, f ) =

For any fixed integer k ≥ 1 and 1 ≤ j ≤ 4, we are interested in the estimates for following sums Sk (x, j) := n≤x λk, f (n j ).  j j j Here, for s > 1, λk, f (n j ) = f (n 1 )λ f (n 2 ) · · · λ f (n k ) is defined n=n 1 n 2 ···n k λ  ∞ ∞ j s k j s by L j (s) = n=1 λ f (n )/n and L j (s) = n=1 λk, f (n )/n . In fact, when k = 2, j = 0, this is the classical divisor problem, which is the conjecture that S2 (x, 0)  x 1/4+ε . On the other hand, when k = 1, j = 1, this is a classical problem, Hecke  [6] and continued with Walfisz [20], Harfer and Ivic [5] which  began with 1/3 , Rankin [17], and Wu [21]. The up-to-date result of Wu [21] λ (n)  x n≤x f  is S1 (x, 1) = n≤x λ f (n)  x 1/3 logδ x, where δ = −0.118 . . .. For k ≥ 2, j = 1, we have L(s, f )k =

Here λk, f (n) = n=n 1 n 2 ···n k λ f (n 1 )λ f (n 2 ) · · · λ f (n k ). The sum Sk (x, 1) =  λ (n) has been investigated by some experts. For example, Fomenko [2] n≤x k, f and Kanemitsu et al. [11] got some non-trivial results for Sk (x, 1), where Sk (x, 1)  x 1−3/(2+2k)+ with k ≥ 2. Moreover, Landau’s classical results imply that Sk (x, 1)  x 1−2/(1+2k)+ with k ≥ 1. Recently, for k ≥ 3, these results were improved by Fomenko [3] and Lü [14] by showing that  Sk (x, 1)
