Conjecture: a(n) is multiplicative, with a(2) = 1, a(2^k) = 0 for k>=2, and for k >= 1 and p an odd prime, a(p^k) = p^(k-1)*a(p), with a(p) = p+1 for p == 5 (mod 6), a(p) = p-1 for p=1 (mod 6), and a(3) = 3. It would be nice to have a proof of this. [See A354766 for additional conjectures. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 19 2022]
This is also 1/4 of the number of primitive integral quadruples with sum = n and sum of squares = n^2. See A354766, A354777, A354778 for the total number of solutions. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 27 2022

Petros Hadjicostas, Slight modification of Mallows' R program. [To get the total counts for n = 1 to 120, type gc(1:120, 3, 3), where r = 3 and s = 3. To get the 1/4 of these counts, type gc(1:120, 3, 3)[,3]/4. As stated in the comments, we get the same sequence with r = 1 and s = 1, i.e., we may type gc(1:120, 1, 1)[,3]/4.]

EXAMPLE
|
For the case r = s = 3, we have 4*a(3) = 12 because of (1,1,3,4) (12 permutations). Indeed, 1 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 9 = 3*3 and 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 = 27 = 3*3^2.
For the case r = s = 1, we have again 4*a(3) = 12 because of (3,3,3,3) - (1,1,3,4) = (2,2,0,-1) (12 permutations). Indeed, 2 + 2 + 0 + (-1) = 3 = 1*3 and 2^2 + 2^2 + 0^2 + (-1)^2 = 9 = 1*3^2.
