A000404 Numbers that are the sum of 2 nonzero squares. 234

%I #181 Apr 06 2024 15:09:18

%S 2,5,8,10,13,17,18,20,25,26,29,32,34,37,40,41,45,50,52,53,58,61,65,68,

%T 72,73,74,80,82,85,89,90,97,98,100,101,104,106,109,113,116,117,122,

%N Numbers that are the sum of 2 nonzero squares.

%C From the formula it is easy to see that if k is in this sequence, then so are all odd powers of k. - _T. D. Noe_, Jan 13 2009

%C Also numbers whose cubes are the sum of two nonzero squares. - Joe Namnath and Lawrence Sze

%C A line perpendicular to y=mx has its first integral y-intercept at a^2+b^2. The remaining ones for that slope are multiples of that primitive value. - _Larry J Zimmermann_, Aug 19 2010

%C The primes in this sequence are sequence A002313.

%C Complement of A018825; A025426(a(n)) > 0; A063725(a(n)) > 0. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Aug 16 2011

%C If the two squares are not equal, then any power is still in the sequence: if k = x^2 + y^2 with x != y, then k^2 = (x^2-y^2)^2 + (2xy)^2 and k^3 = (x(x^2-3y^2))^2 + (y(3x^2-y^2))^2, etc. - _Carmine Suriano_, Jul 13 2012

%C There are never more than 3 consecutive terms that differ by 1. Triples of consecutive terms that differ by 1 occur infinitely many times, for example, 2(k^2 + k)^2, (k^2 - 1)^2 + (k^2 + 2 k)^2, and (k^2 + k - 1)^2 + (k^2 + k + 1)^2 for any integer k > 1. - _Ivan Neretin_, Mar 16 2017 [Corrected by _Jerzy R Borysowicz_, Apr 14 2017]

%C Number of terms less than 10^k, k=1,2,3,...: 3, 34, 308, 2690, 23873, 215907, 1984228, ... - _Muniru A Asiru_, Feb 01 2018

%F Let k = 2^t * p_1^a_1 * p_2^a_2 * ... * p_r^a_r * q_1^b_1 * q_2^b_2 * ... * q_s^b_s with t >= 0, a_i >= 0 for i=1..r, where p_i == 1 (mod 4) for i=1..r and q_j == -1 (mod 4) for j=1..s. Then k is a term iff 1) b_j == 0 (mod 2) for j=1..s and 2) r > 0 or t == 1 (mod 2) (or both).

%F From _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Nov 18 2022: (Start)

%F a(n) ~ k*n*sqrt(log n), where k = 1.3085... = 1/A064533.

%F There are B(x) = (x/sqrt(log x)) * (K + B2/log x + O(1/log^2 x)) terms of this sequence up to x, where K = A064533 and B2 = A227158. (End)

%e 25 = 3^2 + 4^2, therefore 25 is a term. Note that also 25^3 = 15625 = 44^2 + 117^2, therefore 15625 is a term.
