Abstract

Let $T_aD_b(n)$ and $T_aD'_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by $a(x^2-x)/2 +b(4y^2-3y)$ and $a(x^2-x)/2 +b(4y^2-y)$. Similarly, let $S_aD_b(n)$ and $S_aD'_b(n)$ denote respectively the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2 +b(4y^2-3y)$ and $ax^2 +b(4y^2-y)$. In this paper, we prove 162 formulas for these functions.
