Recherches sur la transformation par des substitutions réelles d'une somme de deux ou de trois carrés en elle-même
For nonnegative integers a, b, c and positive integer n, let N(a,b,c;n) denote the number of representations of n by the form . Explicit formulas for N(a,b,c;n) for some small values were determined by Alaca, Alaca and Williams, by Chan and Cooper, by Köklüce, and by Lomadze. We establish formulas for N(2,1,0;n), N(2,0,1;n), N(1,2,0;n), N(1,0,2;n) and N(1,1,1;n) by employing the (p, k)-parametrization of three 2-dimensional theta functions due to Alaca, Alaca and Williams.
