A216672 Total number of solutions to the equation x^2 + k*y^2 = n with x > 0, y > 0, k > 0. (Order does not matter for the equation x^2 + y^2 = n.) 6

%T 5,9,10,6,6,10,11,6,8,9,11,7,6,10,11,8,8,14,11,10,8,10,13,9,8,10,14,7,

%N Total number of solutions to the equation x^2 + k*y^2 = n with x > 0, y > 0, k > 0. (Order does not matter for the equation x^2 + y^2 = n.)

%C If the equation x^2 + y^2 = n has two solutions (x, y), (y, x) then they will be counted only once.

%C No solutions can exist for the values of k >= n.

%C This sequence differs from A216503 since this sequence gives the total number of solutions to the equation x^2 + k*y^2 = n, whereas the sequence A216503 gives the number of distinct values of k for which a solution to the equation x^2 + k*y^2 = n can exist.

%C Some values of k can clearly have more than one solution.

%C For example, x^2 + k*y^2 = 33 is satisfiable for

%C 33 = 1^2 + 2*4^2.

%C 33 = 5^2 + 2*2^2.

%C 33 = 3^2 + 6*2^2.

%C 33 = 1^2 + 8*2^2.

%C 33 = 5^2 + 8*1^2.

%C 33 = 4^2 + 17*1^2.

%C 33 = 3^2 + 24*1^2.

%C 33 = 2^2 + 29*1^2.

%C 33 = 1^2 + 32*1^2.

%C So for this sequence a(33) = 9.

%C On the other hand, for the sequence A216503, there exist only 7 different values of k for which a solution to the equation mentioned above exists.

%C So A216503(33) = 7.
