FORMULA
Conjectures from Chai Wah Wu, Jan 05 2024: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 13.
G.f.: x*(-x^12 + x^11 - x^10 + x^9 - x^8 - x^7 + 2*x^6 - x^5 + x^4 - 7*x^3 + 7*x^2 - 68*x + 69)/(x - 1)^2. (End)
EXAMPLE
70 is a term because 70 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 8^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 4^2 + 7^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 6^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2.
