%N Number of ways to express n=0,1,2,... as the sum of two squares and a pentagonal number.

%C In April 2009, Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that a(n)>0 for every n=0,1,2,3,... Note that pentagonal numbers are more sparse than squares. The Gauss-Legendre theorem asserts that n is the sum of three squares if and only if it is not of the form 4^a(8b+7) (a,b=0,1,2,...).
