A272332 Number of ordered ways to write n as w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with 36*x^2*y + 12*y^2*z + z^2*x a square, where w is a positive integer and x,y,z are nonnegative integers. 28

%N Number of ordered ways to write n as w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with 36*x^2*y + 12*y^2*z + z^2*x a square, where w is a positive integer and x,y,z are nonnegative integers.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 16^k*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 1, 79, 591, 599, 1752, 1839, 10264).

%C We have verified that a(n) > 0 for all n = 1,...,400000.

%C For more refinements of Lagrange's four-square theorem, see arXiv:1604.06723.

%e a(1) = 1 since 1 = 1^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 + 0^2 with 1 > 0 and 36*0^2*0 + 12*0^2*0 + 0^2*0 = 0^2.

%e a(79) = 1 since 79 = 7^2 + 1^2 + 5^2 + 2^2 with 7 > 0 and 36*1^2*5 + 12*5^2*2 + 2^2*1 = 28^2.

%e a(591) = 1 since 591 = 23^2 + 1^2 + 6^2 + 5^2 with 23 > 0 and 36*1^2*6 + 12*6^2*5 + 5^2*1 = 49^2.

%e a(599) = 1 since 599 = 6^2 + 1^2 + 11^2 + 21^2 with 6 > 0 and 36*1^2*11 + 12*11^2*21 + 21^2*1 = 177^2.

%e a(1752) = 1 since 1752 = 10^2 + 4^2 + 40^2 + 6^2 with 10 > 0 and 36*4^2*40 + 12*40^2*6 + 6^2*10 = 372^2.

%e a(1839) = 1 since 1839 = 17^2 + 37^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 with 17 > 0 and 36*37^2*9 + 12*9^2*10 + 10^2*37 = 676^2.

%e a(10264) = 1 since 10264 = 96^2 + 30^2 + 2^2 + 12^2 with 96 > 0 and 36*30^2*2 + 12*2^2*12 + 12^2*30 = 264^2.
