%N Number of ordered ways to write n as the sum of a Lucas number (A000032) and a positive odd squarefree number.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 2, 3, 11, 13, 27, 29, 67, 139, 193, 247, 851.

%C It has been verified that a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..5*10^9.

%C See also A304331, A304333 and A304522 for similar conjectures.

%e a(3) = 1 since 3 = A000032(0) + 1 with 1 odd and squarefree.

%e a(27) = 1 since 27 = A000032(3) + 23 with 23 odd and squarefree.

%e a(29) = 1 since 29 = A000032(6) + 11 with 11 odd and squarefree.

%e a(67) = 1 since 67 = A000032(0) + 5*13 with 5*13 odd and squarefree.

%e a(247) = 1 since 247 = A000032(6) + 229 with 229 odd and squarefree.

%e a(851) = 1 since 851 = A000032(0) + 3*283 with 3*283 odd and squarefree.
