We present a short alternative proof of the Vorono\"i summation formula which
plays an important role in Dirichlet's divisor problem and has recently found
an application in physics as a trace formula for a Schr\"odinger operator on a
non-compact quantum graph \mathfrak{G} [S. Egger n\'e Endres and F. Steiner, J.
Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 (2011) 185202 (44pp)]. As a byproduct we give a new
proof of a non-trivial identity for a particular Lambert series which involves
the divisor function d(n) and is identical with the trace of the Euclidean wave
group of the Laplacian on the infinite graph \mathfrak{G}.Comment: Enlarged version of the published article J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44
