For each positive integer $\,n,\;S(n)\,$ is defined to be the greatest integer such that, for every positive integer $\,k\leq S(n),\;n^{2}\,$ can be written as the sum of $\,k\,$ positive squares.
a.) Prove that $\,S(n)\leq n^{2}-14\,$ for each $\,n\geq 4$.
b.) Find an integer $\,n\,$ such that $\,S(n)=n^{2}-14$.
c.) Prove that there are infintely many integers $\,n\,$ such that $S(n)=n^{2}-14.$
