Abstract
Let with , and , and , and . If any nonnegative integer can be written as with , then the ordered tuple is said to be universal over . Recently, Z.-W. Sun found all candidates for such universal tuples over . In this paper, we use the theory of ternary quadratic forms to show that 44 concrete tuples in Sun's list of candidates are indeed universal over . For example, we prove the universality of over which is related to the form .
