COMMENTS
0 and 1 are triangular numbers, square numbers and pentagonal numbers.
It is conjectured that a(n) is always positive - this is one of the conjectures in Conjecture 1.1 of Sun (2009). - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 01 2014
Note that both the conjecture in A160325 and the conjecture in A160324 imply that a(n) is always positive. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Apr 01 2014
a(n) > 0 for all n < 10^10. - Robert G. Wilson v, Aug 20 2016
