Sean A. Irvine, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000
FORMULA
Conjectures from Chai Wah Wu, Jan 05 2024: (Start)
a(n) = 2*a(n-1) - a(n-2) for n > 10.
G.f.: x*(-x^9 + x^8 - x^7 + x^6 - x^5 - x^4 - 6*x^2 - 61*x + 70)/(x - 1)^2. (End)
EXAMPLE
79 = 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 5^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 5^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 8^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 7^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 1^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 5^2
= 1^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 6^2
= 2^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 4^2
= 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 3^2 + 5^2
so 79 is a term.
