A300752 Number of ways to write n as x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 with x + 3*y + 5*z a positive square, where x,y,z,w are nonnegative integers such that 3*x or y or z is a square.

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n = 1,2,3,....

This is stronger than the author's 1-3-5 conjecture in A271518. See also A300751 for a similar conjecture stronger than the 1-3-5 conjecture.

In 2020, A. Machiavelo, R. Reis and N. Tsopanidis verified a(n) > 0 for n up to 1.05*10^11. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Oct 06 2020

Examples

			a(71) = 1 since 71 = 3^2 + 1^2 + 6^2 + 5^2 with 1 = 1^2 and 3 + 3*1 + 5*6 = 6^2.
a(248) = 1 since 248 = 10^2 + 2^2 + 0^2 + 12^2 with 0 = 0^2 and 10 + 3*2 + 5*0 = 4^2.
a(263) = 1 since 263 = 13^2 + 2^2 + 9^2 + 3^2 with 9 = 3^2 and 13 + 3*2 + 5*9 = 8^2.
a(808) = 1 since 808 = 12^2 + 14^2 + 18^2 + 12^2 with 3*12 = 6^2 and 12 + 3*14 + 5*18 = 12^2.
a(1288) = 1 since 1288 = 12^2 + 18^2 + 26^2 + 12^2 with 3*12 = 6^2 and 12 + 3*18 + 5*26 = 14^2.
a(3544) = 1 since 3544 = 14^2 + 34^2 + 16^2 + 44^2 with 16 = 4^2 and 14 + 3*34 + 5*16 = 14^2.
