Abstract
Let be the th Stern polynomial, i.e., the th term of the sequence defined recursively as and for . It is well know that th coefficient in the polynomial counts the number of hyperbinary representations of containing exactly digits 1. In this note we investigate the existence of odd solutions of the congruence \begin{equation*} B_{n}(t)\equiv 1+rt\frac{t^{e(n)}-1}{t-1}\pmod{m}, \end{equation*} where and are fixed and . We prove that for and and for and , there are infinitely many odd numbers satisfying the above congruence. We also present results of some numerical computations.
