COMMENTS

a(n) = A081119(n)/2 if A081119(n) is even, (A081119(n)+1)/2 if A081119(n) is odd (i.e. if n is a cubic number).

Comment from T. D. Noe, Oct 12 2007: In sequences A134108 (this entry) and A134109 dealing with the equation y^2 = x^3 + n, one could note that these are Mordell equations. Here are some related sequences: A054504, A081119, A081120, A081121. The link "Integer points on Mordell curves" has data on 20000 values of n. A134108 and A134109 count only solutions with y >= 0 and can be derived from A081119 and A081120.

EXAMPLE

y^2 = x^3 + 1 has solutions (y, x) = (0, -1), (1, 0) and (3, 2), hence a(1) = 3.

y^2 = x^3 + 6 has no solutions, hence a(6) = 0.

y^2 = x^3 + 17 has 8 solutions (see A029727, A029728), hence a(17) = 8.

y^2 = x^3 + 27 has solution (y, x) = (0, -3), hence a(27) = 1.
