COMMENT

In April 2009, Zhi-Wei Sun conjecturted that a(n)>0 for every n=0,1,2,3,... Note that pentagonal numbers are more sparse than squares. The Gauss-Legendre theorem asserts that n is the sum of three squares if and only if it is not of the form 4^a(8b+7) (a,b=0,1,2,...).

FORMULA

a(n)=|{<x,y,z>: x,y=0,1,2,... & x^2+y^2+(3z^2-z)/2=n}|

EXAMPLE

For n=5 the a(5)=5 solutions are 0+0+5, 1+4+5, 4+1+5, 0+4+1, 4+0+1.
