FORMULA
Conjectures from Chai Wah Wu, Jan 05 2024: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 20.
G.f.: x*(-x^19 + x^18 - x^17 + x^16 - x^15 + x^14 - x^13 + x^12 - 3*x^9 + 2*x^8 + x^7 - 2*x^6 + x^4 - x^3 - 75*x + 78)/(x - 1)^2. (End)
EXAMPLE
81 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 6^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 8^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2
= 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 7^2
= 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2
= 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 6^2
so 81 is a term.
