A300396 Number of ways to write n^2 as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers and z <= w such that 2*x or y is a power of 4 (including 4^0 = 1) and x + 63*y = 2^(2k+1) for some k = 0,1,2,.... 29

COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 5, 13, 25, 29, 59, 61, 79, 91, 95, 101, 103, 1315, 2^k (k = 1,2,3,...), 2^(2k+1)*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 887).
This is stronger than the conjecture that A300360(n) > 0 for all n > 1. Note that a(387) = 3 < A300360(387) = 4 and a(1774) = 1 < A300360(1774) = 2.
We have verified that a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..10^7.
See also A299537, A299794 and A300219 for similar conjectures.

EXAMPLE
a(29) = 1 since 29^2 = 2^2 + 2^2 + 7^2 + 28^2 with 2*2 = 4^1 and 2 + 63*2 = 2^7.
a(86) = 2 since 65^2 + 1^2 + 19^2 + 53^2 = 65^2 + 1^2 + 31^2 + 47^2 with 1 = 4^0 and 65 + 63*1 = 2^7.
a(1774) = 1 since 1774^2 = 8^2 + 520^2 + 14^2 + 1696^2 with 2*8 = 4^2 and 8 + 63*520 = 2^15.
