A generalization of the sum of element orders function

In this paper, for a finite group $G$ and a positive integer $k$, we introduce the function $$\psi''_k(G)=\dfrac{\psi_k(G)}{|G|^{k+1}}, \quad \text{where} \quad \psi_k(G)=\sum_{g \in G}o(g)^k,$$ as the $k$-th generalization of the function $\psi''$, introduced by M.
