Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of ordered ways to write n = x^2 + y^2 + phi(z^2) (0 <= x <= y and z > 0) with y or z prime, where phi(.) is Euler's totient function given by A000010.
%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1.
%C I have verified this for n up to 10^6, and found that a(n) = 1 for the following 67 values of n: 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 23, 29, 32, 39, 48, 68, 96, 108, 140, 144, 215, 264, 268, 324, 328, 384, 396, 404, 460, 471, 476, 500, 503, 684, 716, 759, 764, 768, 788, 860, 908, 936, 1032, 1076, 1112, 1148, 1164, 1259, 1344, 1399, 1443, 1484, 1503, 1551, 1839, 1868, 2088, 2723, 2883, 3744, 4296, 5963, 6804, 8328, 9680, 10331, 11948, 21524, 39716, 94415. It seems that a(n) = 1 for no other values of n.
%C It is easy to see that all the numbers phi(n^2) = n*phi(n) (n = 1,2,3,...) are pairwise distinct.
%C See also A262781 for a similar conjecture.
