%N Number of ways to write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers such that both x and 49*x + 48*(y-z) are squares.

%C Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n = 0,1,2,..., and a(n) = 1 only for n = 0, 16^k*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 5, 8, 14, 31, 47, 71, 79, 143, 248, 463, 1039).

%C The author has proved that any nonnegative integer can be written as the sum of a fourth power and three squares.

%C We have verified a(n) > 0 for all n = 0..10^7.

%C See also A281976, A281977 and A282014 for similar conjectures.

%C Qing-Hu Hou at Tianjin University verified a(n) > 0 for n up to 10^9. - _Zhi-Wei Sun_, Jun 02 2019
