%N Number of ordered ways to write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with (x+4*y+4*z)^2 + (9*x+3*y+3*z)^2 a square, where x,y,z,w are nonnegative integers with y > 0 and y >= z <= w.

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 4^k*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 1, 7, 23, 31, 39, 47, 55, 71, 79, 119, 151, 191, 311, 671).

%C (ii) Any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with (x+y+z)^2 + (4*(x+y-z))^2 a square, where x,y,z,w are nonnegative integers with x+y >= z.

%C (iii) For each tuple (a,b,c,d,e,f) = (1,1,1,3,6,-3), (1,1,1,4,12,-12), (1,1,2,1,1,-5), (1,1,2,1,8,-5), (1,1,2,3,3,-3), (1,1,2,4,4,-8), (1,3,11,12,4,4), (1,3,14,16,4,4), (1,3,14,18,4,2), (1,3,20,16,4,12), (1,4,11,6,3,3), (1,5,13,12,12,12), (1,5,14,15,12,21), (1,6,6,16,8,8), (1,6,14,12,8,8), (1,6,14,16,8,4), (1,6,17,20,8,4), (1,6,20,20,8,8), (1,7,8,4,2,6), (1,7,8,10,5,15), (1,7,9,10,5,12), (1,7,15,4,2,8), (1,7,15,10,5,20), any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers such that (a*x+b*y+c*z)^2 + (d*x+e*y+f*z)^2 is a square.

%C It was proved in arXiv:1604.06723 that any positive integer can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers and y > 0 such that x+4*y+4*z and 9*x+3*y+3*z are the two legs of a right triangle with positive integer sides.

%C See also A271714, A273107, A273108 and A273134 for similar conjectures related to Pythagorean triples. For more conjectural refinements of Lagrange's four-square theorem, one may consult arXiv:1604.06723.
