%F Conjectures from _Chai Wah Wu_, Apr 25 2024: (Start)

%F a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 9.

%F G.f.: x*(-x^8 + x^7 - x^6 + x^5 - x^4 - x^3 - 52*x + 55)/(x - 1)^2. (End)

%e 58 is a term because 58 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 6^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 = 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2.
