%N Least number of positive cubes that sum to n^2.

%F a(n) = A002376(n^2). - _R. J. Mathar_, May 06 2016

%e a(2)=4 because 4=1+1+1+1;

%e a(3)=2 because 9=1+8;

%e a(4)=2 because 16=8+8.

%t nn=100^2; cnt=Table[10, {nn}]; maxN=Floor[nn^(1/3)]; Do[v={a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i}; n=Plus@@(v^3); If[n>0 && n<=nn, cnt[[n]]=Min[cnt[[n]], 9-Count[v, 0]]], {a, 0, maxN}, {b, a, maxN}, {c, b, maxN}, {d, c, maxN}, {e, d, maxN}, {f, e, maxN}, {g, f, maxN}, {h, f, maxN}, {i, h, maxN}]; Table[cnt[[n^2]], {n, 100}] (T. D. Noe)

%Y Cf. A002376 (least number of positive cubes needed to represent n).
