Numbers n such that n = x^2 + y^2 has a solution in nonnegative integers x, y.
Closed under multiplication. - David W. Wilson, Dec 20 2004
Also, numbers whose cubes are the sum of 2 squares. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 21 2006 (Cf. A125110.)
Terms are the squares of smallest radii of circles covering (on a square grid) a number of points equal to the terms of A057961. - Philippe Lallouet (philip.lallouet(AT)wanadoo.fr), Apr 16 2007. [Comment corrected by T. D. Noe, Mar 28 2008]
Numbers with more 4k+1 divisors than 4k+3 divisors. If a(n) is a member of this sequence, then so too is any power of a(n). - Ant King, Oct 05 2010
A000161(a(n)) > 0; A070176(a(n)) = 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 04 2012, Aug 16 2011
Numbers that are the norms of Gaussian integers. This sequence has unique factorization; the primitive elements are A055025. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Nov 25 2011
These are numbers n such that all of n's odd prime factors congruent to 3 modulo 4 occur to an even exponent (Fermat's two-squares theorem). - Jean-Christophe Hervé, May 01 2013
Let's say that an integer n divides a lattice if there exists a sublattice of index n. Example: 2, 4, 5 divide the square lattice. The present sequence without 0 is the sequence of divisors of the square lattice. Say that n is a "prime divisor" if the index-n sublattice is not contained in any other sublattice except the original lattice itself. Then A055025 (norms of Gaussian primes) gives the "prime divisors" of the square lattice. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, May 01 2013
For any i,j > 0 a(i)*a(j) is a member of this sequence, since (a^2 + b^2)*(c^2 + d^2) = (a*c + b*d)^2 + (a*d - b*c)^2. - Boris Putievskiy, May 05 2013
The sequence is closed under multiplication. Primitive elements are in A055025. The sequence can be split into 3 multiplicatively closed subsequences: {0}, A004431 and A125853. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Nov 17 2013
Generalizing Jasinski's comment, same as numbers whose odd powers are the sum of 2 squares, by Fermat's two-squares theorem. - Jonathan Sondow, Jan 24 2014
By the 4 squares theorem, every nonnegative integer can be expressed as the sum of two elements of this sequence. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Mar 28 2015
There are never more than 3 consecutive terms. Runs of 3 terms start at 0, 8, 16, 72, ... (A082982). - Ivan Neretin, Nov 09 2015
Conjecture: barring the 0+2, 0+4, 0+8, 0+16, ... sequence, the sum of 2 distinct terms in this sequence is never a power of 2. - J. Lowell, Jan 14 2022
All the areas of squares whose vertices have integer coordinates. - Neeme Vaino, Jun 14 2023
Numbers represented by the definite binary quadratic forms x^2 + 2nxy + (n^2+1)y^2 for any integer n. This sequence contains the even powers of any integer. An odd power of a number appears only if the number itself belongs to the sequence. The equation given in the comment by Boris Putievskiy 2013 is Brahmagupta's identity with n = 1. It proves that any set of numbers of the form a^2 + nb^2 is closed under multiplication. - Klaus Purath, Sep 06 2023

Formula

n = square * 2^{0 or 1} * {product of distinct primes == 1 (mod 4)}.

Lagrange's theorem tells us that each positive integer can be written as a sum of four squares.
If n is in the sequence and k is an odd positive integer then n^k is in the sequence because n^k is of the form 4^i(8j+7). - Farideh Firoozbakht, Nov 23 2006
Numbers whose cubes do not have a partition as a sum of 3 squares. a(n)^3 = A134738(n). - Artur Jasinski, Nov 07 2007
A002828(a(n)) = 4; A025427(a(n)) > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 26 2015
There are infinitely many adjacent pairs (for example, 128n + 111 and 128n + 112 for any n), but never a triple of consecutive integers. - Ivan Neretin, Aug 17 2017
These numbers are called "forbidden numbers" in crystallography: for a cubic crystal, no reflection with index hkl such that h^2 + k^2 + l^2 = a(n) appears in the crystal's diffraction pattern. - A. Timothy Royappa, Aug 11 2021

Examples

			15 is in the sequence because it is the sum of four squares, namely, 3^2 + 2^2 + 1^2 + 1^2, and it can't be expressed as the sum of fewer squares.
16 is not in the sequence, because, although it can be expressed as 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2 + 2^2, it can also be expressed as 4^2.

An equivalent definition: numbers of the form x^2 + y^2 + z^2 with x,y,z >= 0.
Bourgain studies "the spatial distribution of the representation of a large integer as a sum of three squares, on the small and critical scale as well as their electrostatic energy. The main results announced give strong evidence to the thesis that the solutions behave randomly. This is in sharp contrast to what happens with sums of two or four or more square." Sums of two nonzero squares are A000404. - Jonathan Vos Post, Apr 03 2012
The multiplicities for a(n) (if 0 <= x <= y <= z) are given as A000164(a(n)), n >= 1. Compare with A005875(a(n)) for integer x, y and z, and order taken into account. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 08 2013
a(n)^k is a member of this sequence for any k > 1. - Boris Putievskiy, May 05 2013
The selection rule for the planes with Miller indices (hkl) to undergo X-ray diffraction in a simple cubic lattice is h^2+k^2+l^2 = N where N is a term of this sequence. See A004014 for f.c.c. lattice. - Mohammed Yaseen, Nov 06 2022

Examples

			a(1) = 0 = 0^2 + 0^2 + 0^2. A005875(0) = 1 = A000164(0).
a(9) = 9 = 0^2 + 0^2 + 3^2 =  1^2 +  2^2 + 2^2. A000164(9) = 2. A000164(9) = 30 = 2*3 + 8*3 (counting signs and order). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Apr 08 2013

No terms are greater than 19, see A002804. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 01 2013
Seven values of n need the maximum of 19 fourth powers. These form the arithmetic progression {79, 159, 239, 319, 399, 479, 559} each term being congruent to 79 mod 80. For n < 625 the available fourth powers are congruent to 1 or 16 mod 80, requiring 4*16 + 15*1 to sum to 79. However, 625 = 5^4 is congruent to 65 and 1*65 + 14*1 = 79. So for n > 625 and congruent to 79, only 15 fourth powers are needed to satisfy the mod 80 arithmetic. - Peter Munn, Apr 12 2017

Define f(n) = n - x^2 where (x+1)^2 > n >= x^2. a(n) = number of iterations in f(...f(f(n))...) to reach 0.
a(n) = 1 iff n is a perfect square.
Also sum of digits when writing n in base where place values are squares, cf. A007961. - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 08 2011
The sequence could have started with a(0)=0. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 12 2014
The sequence is not bounded, see A006892. - Thomas Ordowski, Jul 13 2014

Examples

			7=4+1+1+1, so 7 requires 4 squares using the greedy algorithm, so a(7)=4.
