%N Number of ways to partition n into sums of squares of primes.

%C From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Nov 11 2007: (Start)

%C First statement of monotony: a(n+p^2)>=a(n) for all primes p. Proof: we restrict ourselves on a(n)>0 (the case a(n)=0 is trivial). Let T(i), 1<=i<=a(n), be the a(n) different sums of squares of primes representing n. Then, adding p^2 to those expressions, we get a(n) sums of squares of primes T(i)+p^2, obviously representing n+p^2, thus a(n+p^2) cannot be less than a(n).

%C Second statement of monotony: a(n+m)>=max(a(n),a(m)) for all m with a(m)>1. Proof: let T(i), 1<=i<=a(n), be the a(n) different sums of squares of primes representing n; let S(i), 1<=i<=a(m), be the a(m) different sums of squares of primes representing m. Then, adding these expressions, we get a(n) sums of squares of primes T(i)+S(1), representing n+m, further we get a(m) sums T(1)+S(i), also representing n+m. Thus a(n+m) cannot be less than the maximum of a(n) and a(m).

%C The minimum b(k):=min( n | a(j)>k for all j>n) exists for all k>=0. See A134755 for that sequence representing b(k). (End)

%e a(25)=2 because 25 = 5^2 = 4*(2^2)+3^2.

%e a(83)=8 because 83 = 3^2+5^2+7^2 = 4*(2^2)+2*(3^2)+7^2

%e = 2*(2^2)+3*(5^2) = 6*(2^2)+3^2+2*(5^2)

%e = 2^2+6*(3^2)+5^2 = 10*(2^2)+2*(3^2)+5^2

%e = 5*(2^2)+7*(3^2) = 14*(2^2)+3*(3^2).
