COMMENTS

The first terms where this sequence differs from A088934 are n=22,31,52,87,89,98,118,127,...

EXAMPLE

a(22)=13 because 22 can be represented as -13^2+11^2+7^2+5^2-2^2.

The corresponding representation with the minimum number of terms is

22=19^2-13^2-11^2-7^2 (A088934(22)=19, A088910(22)=4 terms)
