%N From the Fouriest transform of n: write n in that base b >= 4 which maximizes the number of 4's; in case of a tie pick the smallest b; sequence gives the number of 4's.

%C If no base b gives any 4's then we take b=4.

%C The first occurrence of any value m in this sequence is at position 5^m-1.

%C a(n) > 0 for n >= 9 since 14 is n written in base n-4. - _Chai Wah Wu_, Feb 06 2016
