Hi all: I have been looking at representations of integers as the sum of 3 squares and things are very interesting. A quote from Wolfram Math states > The number of solutions of > > (36) x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = n > > for a given n without restriction on the signs or relative sizes of x, > y, and z is given by r_3(n). Gauss proved that if n is squarefree and > n>4, then > > (37) r_3(n) = 24h(-n) for n=3 (mod 8); > = 12h(-4n) for n=1,2,5,6 (mod 8); > = 0 for n=7 (mod 8) > > (Arno 1992), where h(x) is the class number of x. > > The generating function for r_3(n) is given by > > (38) sum_(n=0)^(infty)r_3(n)x^n = theta_3^3(x) > (39) = 1+6x+12x^2+8x^3+6x^4+24x^5+24x^6+12x^8+30x^9+... > > Example: > > n = 6844361 > > Class number h(-4n) is what ??? There are a lot of triads for this number n. I will share what I found in a subsequent post. Can r_3(n) be found? Randall
