Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 3, 5, 11, 15, 23, 35, 95, 4^k*190 (k = 0,1,2,...).
(ii) For each k = 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, 29, 33, 37, 38, 41, 50, 61, any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers such that (x-y)*(w-k*z) is a square.
(iii) For each triple (a,b,c) = (3,1,1), (1,2,1), (2,2,1), (3,2,1), (2,2,2), (6,2,1), (1,3,1), (3,3,1), (15,3,1), (1,4,1), (2,4,1), (1,5,1), (3,5,1), (5,5,1), (1,5,2), (1,6,1), (2,6,1), (3,6,1), (15,6,1), (1,7,1), (5,7,1), (1,8,1), (1,8,5), (3,9,1), (1,10,1), (1,12,1), (1,13,1), (3,13,1), (1,14,1), (1,15,1), (1,15,2), (6,16,1), (2,18,1), (3,18,1), (1,20,2), (1,21,1), (3,21,1), (1,23,1), (1,24,1), (1,27,1), (3,27,1), (1,34,1), (1,45,1), (3,45,1), (3,48,1), (1,55,1), (1,60,1), (5,60,1), any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers such that a*(x+b*y)*(w-c*z) is a square.
This is stronger than Lagrange's four-square theorem. Note that for k = 2 or 3, any natural number n can be written as w^2 + x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with w,x,y,z nonnegative integers and (x-y)*(w-k*z) = 0, for, if n cannot be represented by x^2 + y^2 + 2*z^2 then it has the form 4^k*(16*m+14) (k,m = 0,1,2,...) and hence it can be represented by x^2 + y^2 + (k^2+1)*z^2. It is known that natural numbers not represented by x^2 + y^2 + 5*z^2 have the form 4^k*(8*m+3), and that positive even numbers not represented by x^2 + y^2 + 10*z^2 have the form 4^k*(16*m+6) (as conjectured by S. Ramanujan and proved by L. E. Dickson).
See also A271510, A271513, A271518, A271644, A271714 and A271724 for other conjectures refining Lagrange's theorem.

Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 9, 11, 15, 23, 33, 71, 129, 167, 187, 473, 4^k*m (k = 0,1,2,... and m = 1, 22, 38, 278). Also, any positive integer can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with 9*(x+2*y)^2 + 16*z^2 + 24*w^2 a square, where x is a positive integer and y,z,w are nonnegative integers.
(ii) Any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers and (a*x-b*y)^2 + c*z^2 + d*w^2 a square, provided that (a,b,c,d) is among the quadruples (4,8,1,8), (12,24,1,24), (2,4,5,40), (3,6,7,9), (3,9,7,9), (3,6,7,63), (1,2,8,16), (1,2,8,40), (3,6,8,40), (2,6,9,12), (3,5,9,15), (4,8,9,16), (12,24,9,16), (3,6,15,25), (3,6,16,24), (3,12,16,24), (6,9,16,24), (9,12,16,24), (4,8,16,41), (8,12,16,41), (3,6,16,48), (6,9,16,48), (2,3,16,56), (3,6,28,63), (2,4,36,45), (6,12,40,45), (7,14,56,64) and (2,6,57,60).
(iii) Let a and be positive integers with a <= b and gcd(a,b) squarefree. Then any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers and (a*x+b*y)*z a square, if and only if (a,b) is among the ordered pairs (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (2,5), (3,3), (3,6), (3,15), (5,6), (5,11), (5,13), (6,15), (8,46) and (9,23).
(iv) Let a and b be positive integers with a <= b and gcd(a,b) squarefree. Then, any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w nonnegative integers and (a*x^2+b*y^2)*z a square, if and only if (a,b) is among the ordered pairs (3,13), (5,11), (15,57), (15,165) and (138,150).
There are many ordered pairs (a,b) of integers with gcd(a,b) squarefree such that any natural number can be written as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x,y,z,w integers and a*x^2 + b*y^2 a square. For example, we have shown that (1,-1), (2,-2), (3,-3) and (1,2) are indeed such ordered pairs.
