COMMENTS
The general conjecture in A266277 implies that for any integer m there are positive integers x, y and z such that m + x^2 = y^3 + z^4.
See also A266152 and A266364 for similar sequences.
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 3 since 0 + 3^2 = 2^3 + 1^4.
a(2) = 302 since 2 + 302^2 = 45^3 + 3^4.
a(3) = 5 since 3 + 5^2 = 3^3 + 1^4.
a(38) = 1362 since 38 + 1362^2 = 121^3 + 17^4.
a(394) = 110307 since 394 + 110307^2 = 2283^3 + 128^4.
a(5546) = 945840 since 5546 + 945840^2 = 9625^3 + 233^4.
