Description

Let λ(x) denote the number of positive integers not exceeding a which can be expressed as a sum of two squares excepting 1. The function λ(x) clearly approaches infinity as x increases, but one can ask how fast it does so.  Landau and Ramanujan both independently proved that a limit exists.
