%N Squares that can be expressed as the sum of two positive squares but not as the sum of three positive squares.

%C This sequence comes from the study of A309778, exactly, A309778(n) = 2 iff n^2 belongs to this sequence here.

%C According to Draxl link, a(n) is a term of this sequence iff a(n) = 5^2 * 4^(n-1) with n >= 1.

%C This sequence is a subsequence of A219222 whose terms are all of the form b_0 * 4^k with b_0 in A051952, hence, the only primitive term of this sequence here is 25.

%F a(n) = 5^2 * 4^(n-1) with n >= 1.

%F a(n) = 4*a(n-1) for n > 1. G.f.: 25*x/(1 - 4*x). - _Chai Wah Wu_, Aug 29 2019

%F a(n) = 25 * A000302(n-1). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Aug 29 2019

%F E.g.f.: 25*(exp(4*x) - 1)/4. - _Stefano Spezia_, Oct 28 2023

%e 25 = 5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2,

%e 100 = 10^2 = 6^2 + 8^2,

%e 5^2 * 4^(n-1) = (5 * 2^(n-1))^2 = (3 * 2^(n-1))^2 + (4 * 2^(n-1))^2, but these terms are not the sum of three positive squares.
