%N Number of ordered triples <p,s,t> satisfying p+L_s+L_t=n, where p is an odd prime, s and t are nonnegative and the Lucas number L_s or L_t is odd.

%C Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)>0 for all n=5,6,...; in other words, any integer n>4 can be represented as the sum of an odd prime, an odd Lucas number and a Lucas number. This has been verified up to 1.5*10^8. Sun thought that the constant lim inf_n a(n)/log(n) is greater than 2 and smaller than 3. For k=2,3 Sun also conjectured that any integer n>4 can be written in the form p+L_s+(L_t)^k, where p is an odd prime and L_s or L_t is odd.

%C _Zhi-Wei Sun_ has offered a monetary reward for settling this conjecture.
