FORMULA

n is representable as the sum of 3 squares iff n is not of the form 4^a (8k+7) (cf. A000378).

A005875(n) = Sum_{d^2|n} a(n/d^2).

Let h = number of classes of primitive binary quadratic forms, corresponding to the discriminant D=-n if n=3 (mod 8), D=-4n if n=1, 2, 5, 6 (mod 8) and let d_1=1/2, d_3=1/3, d_n=1 otherwise. Then a(n) = 12 h d_n, if n=1, 2, 5, 6 (mod 8), 24 h d_n, if n=3 (mod 8). (Grosswald)

Also, if n is squarefree and (r/n) is the Jacobi symbol, a(n) = 24 sum(r=1, [n/4], (r/n)) if n=1 (mod 4), 8 sum(r=1, [n/2], (r/n)) if n=3 (mod 8). (Grosswald)

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := (r = Reduce[ GCD[x, y, z] == 1 && n == x^2 + y^2 + z^2, {x, y, z}, Integers]; If[ r === False, 0, Length[ {ToRules[r]} ] ] ); a[0] = 1; Table[ a[n], {n, 0, 100}](* From Jean-François Alcover, Jan 13 2012 *)
