Eventual universality for four signed pentagonal forms

From papers

Let N\mathbb N denote the nonnegative integers and define

N(1)=114862,N(1)=166897,N(3)=196987,N(3)=273118.N(1)=114862,\qquad N(-1)=166897,\qquad N(3)=196987,\qquad N(-3)=273118.

Signed pentagonal universality conjecture. For each r{±1,±3}r\in\{\pm1,\pm3\}, every integer n>N(r)n>N(r) can be written as

n=x(5x+r)2+y(5y+r)2+z(5z+r)2n=\frac{x(5x+r)}2+\frac{y(5y+r)}2+\frac{z(5z+r)}2

with x,y,zNx,y,z\in\mathbb N.

The conjecture gives explicit bounds for eventual universality for four ternary sums, one for each allowed linear coefficient rr. No resolution is given in the source.
