COMMENTS

A078128(a(n))=0.

The sequence is finite because every number greater than 181 can be represented using just 8 and 27. - Frank Adams-Watters (FrankTAW(AT)Netscape.net), Apr 21 2006

Contribution from Benoit Jubin (benoit_jubin(AT)yahoo.fr), Jun 29 2010: More generally, the numbers which are not the sum of k^th powers larger than 1 are exactly those in [1,6^k-3^k-2^k] but not of the form 2^k.a+3^k.b+5^k.c with a,b,c nonnegative. This relies on the following fact applied to m=2^k and n=3^k: if m and n are relatively prime, then the largest number which is not a linear combination of m and n with positive integer coefficients is mn-m-n. (End)

The complete list is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 49, 50, 52, 53, 55, 57, 58, 60, 61, 63, 65, 66, 68, 69, 71, 73, 74, 76, 77, 79, 82, 84, 85, 87, 90, 92, 93, 95, 98, 100, 101, 103, 106, 109, 111, 114, 117, 119, 122, 127, 130, 138, 146, 154. - Benoit Jubin (benoit_jubin(AT)yahoo.fr), Jun 29 2010

EXAMPLE

181 is not in the list since 181 = 7*2^3 + 5^3.
