Comments

Number of compositions (ordered partitions) into centered square numbers (A001844).

Conjecture: every number > 1 is the sum of at most 6 centered square numbers.

Extended conjecture: every number > 1 is the sum of at most k+2 centered k-gonal numbers.

Formula

G.f.: 1/(1 - Sum_{k>=0} x^(2*k*(k+1)+1)).

a(n) ~ c / r^n, where r = 0.746043978237212782246711857485153004976647... is the root of the equation sqrt(r) * EllipticTheta(2, 0, r^2) = 2 and c = 0.453173429667590077751072798128748901015122665... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 17 2017

Example

a(8) = 5 because we have [5, 1, 1, 1], [1, 5, 1, 1], [1, 1, 5, 1], [1, 1, 1, 5] and [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1].
