COMMENT

These correspond to Descartes quadruples (-s,s+x+y,s+x+z,s+y+z) where s = sqrt(n), which are primitive if n is a perfect square.

Many empirical regularities are known, e.g. for n = 2^(2k) or n=2^(2k-1), (2 <= k <= 10 and even k <= 20), a(n) = 2^(k-2).

It appears that a(n)>0 for n>462. An upper bound on the number of solutions appears to be 1.5*sqrt(n). - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jun 14 2006

EXAMPLE

a(81) = 3 because we have the triples (x,y,z) = (1,1,40),(2,3,15),(3,6,7) (and not (3,3,12) because this is not primitive).

MATHEMATICA

Table[cnt=0; Do[z=(n-x*y)/(x+y); If[IntegerQ[z] && GCD[x, y, z]==1, cnt++ ], {x, Sqrt[n/3]}, {y, x, Sqrt[x^2+n]-x}]; cnt, {n, 100}] - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Jun 14 2006
