Positive density conjecture for the nonzero coefficients of Bˉ(n)\bar{B}(n)

Let Bˉ(n)\bar{B}(n) be the sequence defined in the paper, and let XX tend to infinity. Positive density conjecture for Bˉ(n)\bar{B}(n). There exists a constant σ2(0,1]\sigma_2\in(0,1] such that

#{nX:Bˉ(n)0}σ2X.\#\{n\le X:\bar{B}(n)\neq0\}\sim \sigma_2 X.

Identities relating Bˉ(n)\bar{B}(n) to a positive ternary quadratic form show that representation by such a form is a necessary condition for Bˉ(n)\bar{B}(n) to be nonzero. Theorems 3.3 and 3.4 provide a stepping stone, but the conjectured asymptotic and the related upper arithmetic density remain open.
