Abstract
In 2016, while studying restricted sums of integral squares, Sun posed the following conjecture: Every positive integer can be written as with a square. Meanwhile, he also conjectured that for each positive integer there exist integers such that and . In this paper, we confirm these conjectures via some arithmetic theory of ternary quadratic forms.
