Abstract

In this paper, we study shifted convolution sums for GL(2) and give an upper bound for \(\sum \nolimits _{n\ge 1}\lambda _f(n+b) r(n,Q)g(n)\), where g(n) is a smooth weight function. In particular, we get an upper bound for \(\sum \nolimits _{n\le x}\lambda _f(n+b)r_3(n)\), which improves the result in Lü et al. (Ramanujan J 40(1):C115–C133, 2016).
