Abstract: The Hurwitz problem of composition of quadratic forms, or of "sum of squares identity" is tackled with the help of a particular class of $(mathbb{Z}_2{)}^n$-graded non-associative algebras generalizing the octonions. This method provides an explicit formula for the classical Hurwitz-Radon identity and leads to new solutions in a neighborhood of the Hurwitz-Radon identity.
