Further Extensions of Sury's Identity

Abstract

The equation commonly known as Sury's identity is a deceptively simple summation formula that connects the Lucas numbers, Fibonacci numbers, and powers of two. Many authors have given extensions and generalizations over the years; in this paper, we take a different approach that allows us to produce a good number of new summation formulas, all from elementary (but non-trivial) methods.
