Are there any references to study the integer solutions (existence and how many) of Diophantine equations like $a^2+b^2=c^2+d^2+2$, $a^2+b^2=c^2+d^2+3$, $a^2+b^2=c^2+d^2+5$...? Actually, I can prove that there are integer solutions (a,b,c,d) for any integers n. But I don't know how to count them. Thanks a lot.
