Principal forms X 2+nY 2 representing many integers

Abstract: Abstract. In 1966, Shanks and Schmid investigated the asymptotic behavior of the number of positive integers less than or equal to x which are represented by the quadratic form X 2 + nY 2 . Based on some numerical computations, they observed that the constant occurring in the main term appears to be the largest for n = 2. In this paper, we prove that in fact this constant is unbounded as n runs through positive integers with a fixed number of prime divisors.
