Recursive formulas for sums of squares and sums of triangular numbers

Number Theory 2011-06-23 v2

Abstract

We prove recursive formulas for sums of squares and sums of triangular numbers in terms of sums of divisors functions and we give a variety of consequences of these formulas. Intermediate applications include statements about positivity of the coefficients of some infinite products.
