%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C We call this the 2-3 conjecture. It is simialr to the author's 2-5 conjecture which states that A300510(n) > 0 for all n > 1.

%C We have verified that a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..5*10^7.

%C It is known that the number of ways to write a positive integer n as x^2 + 2*y^2 with x and y integers is twice the difference |{d > 0: d|n and d == 1,3 (mod 8)| - |{d>0: d|n and d == 5,7 (mod 8)}|.
