%N Total number of solutions to the equation x^2+k*y^2 = n with x > 0, y > 0, k > 0. (Order matters for the equation x^2+y^2 = n).

%C If the equation x^2+y^2 = n has got two solutions (x, y), (y, x) then they will be counted differently.

%C No solutions can exist for the values of k >= n.

%C a(n) is the same as A216672(n) when n is not the sum of two positive squares.

%C But when n is the sum of two positive squares, the ordered pairs for the equation x^2+y^2 = n count.

%C For example,

%C 10 = 3^2 + 1^2.

%C 10 = 1^2 + 3^2.

%C 10 = 2^2 + 6*1^2.

%C 10 = 1^2 + 9*1^2.

%C So a(10) = 4. On the other hand, for the sequence A216672, the ordered pair 3^2+1^2 and 1^2+3^2 will be counted as the same, and so A216672(10) = 3.

%o (PARI) for(n=1, 100, sol=0; for(k=1, n, for(x=1, n, if((issquare(n-k*x*x)&&n-k*x*x>0), sol++))); print1(sol", ")) /* _V. Raman_, Oct 16 2012 */

%Y Cf. A216503, A216504, A216505.

%Y Cf. A216672 (a variant of this sequence, when the order does not matter for the equation x^2+y^2 = n, i.e. if the equation x^2+y^2 = n has got two solutions (x, y), (y, x) then they will be counted as the same).

%Y Cf. A216672, A216673, A216674, A217840, A217956.
