%N Number of ways of writing n as a sum of at most two nonzero squares, where order matters; also (number of divisors of n of form 4m+1) - (number of divisors of form 4m+3).

%C Glaisher calls this E(n) or E_0(n). - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Nov 24 2018

%C Number of sublattices of Z X Z of index n that are similar to Z X Z; number of (principal) ideals of Z[i] of norm n.

%C a(n) is also one fourth of the number of integer solutions of n = x^2 + y^2 (order and signs matter, and 0 (without signs) is allowed). a(n) = N(n)/4, with N(n) from p. 147 of the Niven-Zuckermann reference. See also Theorem 5.12, p. 150, which defines a (strongly) multiplicative function h(n) which coincides with A056594(n-1), n >= 1, and N(n)/4 = sum(h(d), d divides n). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 19 2013

%C a(2+8*N) = A008441(N) gives the number of ways of writing N as the sum of 2 (nonnegative) triangular numbers for N >= 0. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 12 2017

%C Coefficients of Dedekind zeta function for the quadratic number field of discriminant -4. See A002324 for formula and Maple code. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Mar 22 2022

%F From _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Mar 10 2023: (Start)

%F Sum_{k=1..n} a(k)^2 ~ n * (log(n) + C) / 4, where C = A241011 =

%F 4*gamma - 1 + log(2)/3 - 2*log(Pi) + 8*log(Gamma(3/4)) - 12*Zeta'(2)/Pi^2 = 2.01662154573340811526279685971511542645018417752364748061...

%F The constant C, published by Ramanujan (1916, formula (22)), 4*gamma - 1 + log(2)/3 - log(Pi) + 4*log(Gamma(3/4)) - 12*Zeta'(2)/Pi^2 = 2.3482276258576... is wrong! (End)

%e 4 = 2^2, so a(4) = 1; 5 = 1^2 + 2^2 = 2^2 + 1^2, so a(5) = 2.

%e x + x^2 + x^4 + 2*x^5 + x^8 + x^9 + 2*x^10 + 2*x^13 + x^16 + 2*x^17 + x^18 + ...

%e 2 = (+1)^2 + (+1)^2 = (+1)^2 + (-1)^2 = (-1)^2 + (+1)^2 = (-1)^2 + (-1)^2. Hence there are 4 integer solutions, called N(2) in the Niven-Zuckerman reference, and a(2) = N(2)/4 = 1. 4 = 0^1 + (+2)^2 = (+2)^2 + 0^2 = 0^2 + (-2)^2 = (-2)^2 + 0^2. Hence N(4) = 4 and a(4) = N(4)/4 = 1. N(5) = 8, a(5) = 2. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 19 2013
