Abstract

We investigate the relationship between the numbers of representations of certain integers by a primitive integral binary quadratic form [Formula: see text] of discriminant [Formula: see text] and the order of the class of [Formula: see text] in the form class group of discriminant [Formula: see text], in the case when this order is even. The explicit form of the solutions obtained is used to give a partial answer to a question regarding which multiples of [Formula: see text] can be parameterized in a particular way.
