A306468 Number of ways to write n as floor(i^2/3) + floor(j^2/3) + floor(k^2/3) with 1 <= i <= j <= k. 1

%N Number of ways to write n as floor(i^2/3) + floor(j^2/3) + floor(k^2/3) with 1 <= i <= j <= k.

%C Farhi proved that a(n) > 0 for any n >= 0.

%C i^2/3 means (i^2)/3, of course, not i^(2/3). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Feb 18 2019

%e For n = 42:

%e - let f(k) = floor(k^2/3),

%e - 42 can be written in 5 ways as f(i) + f(j) + f(k) with 1 <= i <= j <= k:

%e f(1) + f(8) + f(8) = 0 + 21 + 21

%e f(2) + f(2) + f(11) = 1 + 1 + 40

%e f(2) + f(5) + f(10) = 1 + 8 + 33

%e f(3) + f(6) + f(9) = 3 + 12 + 27

%e f(4) + f(7) + f(8) = 5 + 16 + 21,

%e - hence a(42) = 5.
