- Abstract
- Let N(a, b, c, d; n) be the number of representations of n as ax(2)+by(2)+cz(2)+dw(2) and T(a, b, c, d, n) be the number of representations of n as aX(X +1)/2 + b Y (Y +1)/2 + c Z (Z +1)/2 + d W (W +1)/2, where a, b, c, d are positive integers, n, X, Y, Z, W are nonnegative integers, and x, y, z, w are integers. Recently, Z.-H. Sun found many relations between N(a, b, c, d, n) and T(a, b, c, d, n) and conjectured 23 more relations. Yao proved five of Sun's conjectures by using (p, k)-parametrization of theta functions and stated that six more could be proved by using the same method. More recently, Sun himself confirmed two more conjectures by proving a general result whereas Xia and Zhong proved three more conjectures of Sun by employing theta function identities. In this paper, we prove the remaining seven conjectures. Six are proved by employing Ramanujan's theta function identities and one is proved by elementary techniques.
