FORMULA
|
A number n is representable as the sum of 3 squares iff n is not of the form 4^a (8k+7) (cf. A000378).
There is a classical formula (essentially due to Gauss):
For sums of 3 squares r_3(n): write (uniquely) -n=D(2^vf)^2, with D<0 fundamental discriminant, f odd, v>=-1. Then r_3(n) = 12L((D/.),0)(1-(D/2)) Sum_{d | f} mu(d)(D/d)sigma(f/d).
Here mu is the Moebius function, (D/2) and (D/d) are Kronecker-Legendre symbols, sigma is the sum of divisors function, L((D/.),0)=h(D)/(w(D)/2) is the value at 0 of the L function of the quadratic character (D/.), equal to the class number h(D) divided by 2 or 3 in the special cases D=-4 and -3. - Henri Cohen (Henri.Cohen(AT)math.u-bordeaux1.fr), May 12 2010
a(n) = 3*T(n) if n == 1,2,5,6 mod 8, = 2*T(n) if n == 3 mod 8, = 0 if n == 7 mod 8 and = a(n/4) if n == 0 mod 4, where T(n) = A117726(n). [Moreno-Wagstaff].
"If 12E(n) is the number of representations of n as a sum of three squares, then E(n) = 2F(n) - G(n) where G(n) = number of classes of determinant -n, F(n) = number of uneven classes." - Dickson, quoting Kronecker. [Cf. A117726.]
a(n) = Sum_{d^2|n} b(n/d^2), where b() = A074590() gives the number of primitive solutions.
Expansion of phi(q)^3 in powers of q where phi() is a Ramanujan theta function. - Michael Somos, Oct 25 2006.
Euler transform of period 4 sequence [ 6, -9, 6, -3, ...]. - Michael Somos, Oct 25 2006
G.f.: (Sum_{k in Z} x^(k^2))^3.
a(8*n + 7) = 0. a(4*n) = a(n).

EXAMPLE

Order and signs are taken into account: a(1) = 6 from 1 = (+-1)^2 + 0^2 + 0^2, a(2) = 12 from 2 = (+-1)^2 + (+-1)^2 + 0^2; a(3) = 8 from 3 = (+-1)^2 + (+-1)^2 + (+-1)^2, etc.
G.f. = 1 + 6*q + 12*q^2 + 8*q^3 + 6*q^4 + 24*q^5 + 24*q^6 + 12*q^8 + 30*q^9 + 24*q^10 + ...
