Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A050794
Consider the Diophantine equation x^3 + y^3 = z^3 + 1 (1 < x < y < z) or 'Fermat near misses'. Arrange solutions by increasing values of z (see A050791). Sequence gives values of x^3 + y^3 = z^3 + 1. For corresponding values of x, y, z see A050792, A050793, A050791 respectively.
