%C Numbers which can be written as a sum of squares of primes. - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Nov 11 2007

%C Equivalently, numbers which can be written as a sum of squares of 2 and 3. Proof for numbers m>=24: if m=4*(k+6), k>=0, then m=(k+6)*2^2; if m=4*(k+6)+1 than m=(k+4)*2^2+3^2; if m=4*(k+6)+2 then m=(k+2)*2^2+2*3^2; if m=4*(k+6)+3 then m=k*2^2+3*3^2. Clearly, the numbers a(n)<24 can also be written as sums of squares of 2 and 3. Explicit representation as a sum of squares of 2 and 3 for numbers m>23: m=c*2^2+d*3^2, where c:=((floor(m/4) - 2*(m mod 4))>=0 and d:=m mod 4. - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Nov 11 2007
