Abstract

In this paper, we prove some results of restricted sums of four squares using arithmetic of quaternions in the ring of Lipschitz integers. For example, we show that every nonnegative integer nn can be written as x2+y2+z2+t2x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+t^{2} where x,y,z,tx,y,z,t are integers and x+y+2z+2tx+y+2z+2t is a square or a cube.
