COMMENTS

x^2 + 4y^2 has discriminant -16.

Numbers that can be expressed as both the sum of two squares and the difference of two squares; the intersection of sequences A001481 and A042965. - T. D. Noe, Feb 05 2003

A004531(n) is nonzero if and only if n is of the form x^2 + 4*y^2. - Michael Somos, Jan 05 2012

These are the sum of two squares that are congruent to 0 or 1 (mod 4), and thus that are also the difference of two squares. - Jean-Christophe Hervé, Oct 25 2015
