matho-sumsq - Find the minimum sum of the squares for integers
matho-sumsq
[numbers]
This command-line utility is optionally part of the
mathomatic(1)
package. It finds the minimum number of positive integers
that when squared and added together, equal the given number. There is
a proof that no more than 4 squares summed together are required to represent
any positive integer.
The command line may contain positive integers, less
than 2147483648 (2^31), to find the squares of, otherwise the program counts
up from 0. If the number of squares is 2, this program displays all possible
combinations, otherwise it just displays the first combination it finds.
