%N Number of ways to write n as x^2 + y*(y+1) + z*(4*z+1) with x,y,z nonnegative integers.

%C Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n, and a(n) > 1 for all n > 338.

%C (ii) If f(x) is one of the polynomials 3x^2+x, (7x^2+3x)/2, (9x^2-x)/2, (11x^2-7x)/2, (15x^2-7x)/2, (15x^2-11x)/2, then any nonnegative integer n can be written as x^2 + y*(y+1) + f(z) with x,y,z nonnegative integers.

%C We have proved that for each n = 0,1,... there are integers x,y,z such that n = x^2 + y*(y+1) + z*(4z+1).

%C It is known that {x^2+y*(y+1): x,y=0,1,...} = {x*(x+1)/2+y*(y+1)/2: x,y=0,1,...}.

%e a(103) = 1 since 103 = 8^2 + 0*1 + 3*(4*3+1).

%e a(122) = 1 since 122 = 9^2 + 1*2 +3*(4*3+1).

%e a(143) = 1 since 143 = 6^2 + 1*2 + 5*(4*5+1).

%e a(167) = 1 since 167 = 3^2 + 9*10 + 4*(4*4+1).

%e a(248) = 1 since 248 = 5^2 + 4*5 + 7*(4*7+1).

%e a(338) = 1 since 338 = 5^2 + 10*11 + 7*(4*7+1).
