The authors study the problem of how to find the integers represented by a positive definite ternary quadratic form. It is a classical result that, taken together the forms of a genus represent all numbers not ruled out by some corresponding congruences. These numbers are called eligible numbers of the genus. In this paper the authors prove some more general results relative to eligible numbers and give an algorithm for the number of representations of a positive integer \(n\) by a genus of positive definite ternary quadratic forms. For \(f= x^2+ y^2+ 7z^2\), \textit{I. Kaplansky} [Math. Comput. 64, 341-345 (1995; Zbl 0826.11015)] conjectured that \(f\) represents all eligible numbers congruent to \(2\pmod 3\) which are not of trivial type, i.e. of the form \(14\cdot 7^{2k}\). This conjecture has been proven by the authors using the above-mentioned algorithm. In the last section they study the relationship between the number of representations of ternary positive definite quadratic forms and elliptic curves.
