Abstract

We say a positive integer is a sum of three nonunit squares if it is a sum of three squares of integers other than one. In this article, we find all integers which are sums of three nonunit squares assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis(GRH) holds. As applications, we find all integers, under the GRH only when k=3k=3, which are sums of kk nonzero triangular numbers, sums of kk nonzero generalized pentagonal numbers, and sums of kk nonzero generalized octagonal numbers, respectively for any integer k3k\ge 3.
