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

%C If the equation x^2+y^2 = n has got 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 A216505 in the fact that this sequence gives the total number of solutions to the equation x^2+k*y^2 = n, whereas the sequence A216505 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 A216505, there exist only 7 different values of k for which a solution to the equation mentioned above exists.

%C So A216505(33) = 7.
