Comments

a(n) is the sum of two positive squares in only one way. See the Dickson reference, (B) p. 227.

a(n) is the hypotenuse of two and only two right triangles with integral legs (modulo leg exchange). See the Dickson reference, (A) p. 227.

In 1640 Fermat generalized the 3,4,5 triangle with the theorem: A prime of the form 4n+1 is the hypotenuse of one and only one right triangle with integral arms. The square of a prime of the form 4n+1 is the hypotenuse of two and only two... The cube of three and only three...

Formula

a(n) = A002144(n)^2 = A070079(n)^2 + (4*A070151(n))^2, for n >= 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2015

From Amiram Eldar, Dec 02 2022: (Start)

Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = A243380

Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = A088539. (End)

Example

a(7) = 2809 is the hypotenuse of triangles 1241, 2520, 2809 and 1484, 2385, 2809, and only of these.
a(7) = 53^2 = 2809 = 45^2 + (4*7)^2, and this is the only way. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 13 2015
