COMMENTS
If the equation x^2+y^2 = n has got two solutions (x, y), (y, x) then they will be counted differently.
No solutions can exist for the values of k >= n.
a(n) is the same as A216672(n) when n is not the sum of two positive squares.
But when n is the sum of two positive squares, the ordered pairs for the equation x^2+y^2 = n count.
For example,
10 = 3^2 + 1^2.
10 = 1^2 + 3^2.
10 = 2^2 + 6*1^2.
10 = 1^2 + 9*1^2.
So a(10) = 4. On the other hand, for the sequence A216672, the ordered pair 3^2+1^2 and 1^2+3^2 will be counted as the same, and so A216672(10) = 3.
