%N Numbers that are the sum of 3 distinct nonzero squares.

%C Numbers that can be written as a(n) = x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with 0 < x < y < z.

%C This is a subsequence (equal to the range) of A024803. As a set, it is the union of A025339 and A024804, subsequences of numbers having exactly one, resp. more than one, such representations. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 25 2013

%C Conjecture: a number n is a sum of 3 squares, but not a sum of 3 distinct nonzero squares (i.e., is in A004432 but not A000408), if and only if it is of the form 4^j*s, where j >= 0 and s in {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19, 22, 25, 27, 33, 34, 37, 43, 51, 57, 58, 67, 73, 82, 85, 97, 99, 102, 123, 130, 163, 177, 187, 193, 267, 627, 697}. - _Jeffrey Shallit_, Jan 15 2017

%C 4*a(n) gives the sums of 3 distinct nonzero even squares. - _Wesley Ivan Hurt_, Apr 05 2021
