COMMENTS

Not of the form x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with x, y, z >=1.

Complement of A000408, but skipping the zero. - R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Nov 23 2006

EXAMPLE

The smallest numbers that are the sums of 3 nonzero squares are 3=1+1+1, 6=1+1+4, 9=1+4+4, etc.

MAPLE

gf := sum(sum(sum(q^(x^2+y^2+z^2), x=1..25), y=1..25), z=1..25): s := series(gf, q, 500): for n from 1 to 500 do if coeff(s, q, n)=0 then printf(`%d, `, n) fi:od:

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Flatten[Position[Take[Rest[CoefficientList[Sum[x^(i^2), {i, n}]^3, x]], n^2], 0]]; f[16] (*Chandler*)
