초록

In 1911, Dubouis determined all positive integers represented by sums of k nonvanishing squares for all k ≥ 4. As a generalization, Y.-S. Ji, M.-H. Kim and B.-K. Oh determined all positive definite binary quadratic forms represented by sums of k nonvanishing squares for all k ≥ 5. In this article, we give a simple proof for Ji-Kim-Oh's theorem for all k ≥ 10.
