FORMULA
From Chai Wah Wu, May 09 2024: (Start)
All integers >= 77 are terms. Proof: since 246 can be written as the sum of 4 positive squares in 10 ways (see A025428) and any integer >= 34 can be written as a sum of 5 positive squares (see A025429), any integer >= 280 can be written as a sum of 9 positive squares in 10 or more ways. Integers from 77 to 279 are terms by inspection.
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 9.
G.f.: x*(-x^8 + x^7 - x^6 + x^5 - 2*x^4 + x^2 - 61*x + 63)/(x - 1)^2. (End)
EXAMPLE
65 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 6^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 6^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2
= 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2
so 65 is a term.
