In following a suggestion of S. Chowla to apply a method of C. Hooley [3] to obtain an asymptotic formula for the sum ∑ r(n)r(n+a), where r(n) denotes the number of representations of n≤x

n as the sum of two squares and is positive integer, we have had to obtain non-trivial estimates for the error term in the asymptotic expansion of
