Abstract.
The Stern sequence (also called Stern's diatomic sequence) is defined by the recurrence relations ,
, and in general by
and
. In this note we prove a new identity for Stern's sequence. In particular, we show that if e and a are nonnegative integers, then for any integer r with
, we have
It seems that this is the first correlation-type identity concerning Stern's sequence in the literature.
