Conjectured equations made specific. Quadratic forms introduced.

Sep 6, 2011 at 23:54 comment added paul Monsky @ARupinski---Quadratic forms arguments(Jacobi's 4 square theorem is the key!) will give (2) above. When l=31, similar arguments show that C(3,3,2,3)+C(2,3,7) is equal to C(1,1,2,5)+C(1,5,6). But I can't use these arguments to prove (3); the trouble is that 31=15 mod 16.
Sep 5, 2011 at 12:18 comment added paul Monsky In that case, it also could be twice the l-value; multiplication by 12 takes(2,5,8) to(-7,-2,3). So C(2,5,8)=C(2,3,7) when l=31. But I have no idea what happens in general. When l is 7 mod 16, I think I see how to write C as a sum of various C(r1,r2,r3) and various C(s1,s2,s3,s4). But my argument fails when l is 15 mod 16.
Sep 5, 2011 at 5:06 comment added ARupinski Extending your comment that $3^2+3^2+2^2+5^2 = 47$ etc., is there any reason you can see as to why the sum of the squares of the arguments of the second function is always twice the I-value except in case (3) where it is triple the I-value?
