COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 4, 10, 18, 28, 39, 49, 98, 142, 163, 184, 208, 320, 382, 408, 814, 910, 1414, 2139, 2674, 3188, 3213, 4230, 6279, 25482.
(ii) All the numbers 16*n+5 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as x^4 + 4*y^2 + z^2, where x,y,z are integers with y > 0 and z > 0.
(iii) All the numbers 24*n+1 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as 12*x^4 + 4*y^2 + z^2 with x,y,z integers. Also, all the numbers 24*n+9 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as 2*x^4 + 6*y^2 + z^2 with x,y,z positive integers.
(iv) All the numbers 24*n+2 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as x^4 + 9*y^2 + z^2, where x,y,z are integers with z > 0. Also, all the numbers 24*n+17 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as x^4 + 16*y^2 + z^2, where x,y,z are integers with y > 0 and z > 0.
(v) All the numbers 30*n+3 (n = 1,2,3,...) can be written as 2*x^4 + 3*y^2 + z^2 with x,y,z positive integers. Also, all the numbers 30*n+21 (n = 0,1,2,...) can be written as 2*x^4 + 3*y^2 + z^2, where x,y,z are integers with z > 0.

EXAMPLE
a(10) = 1 since 12*10+1 = 7^2 + 4*4^2 + 8*1^4.
a(28) = 1 since 12*28+1 = 9^2 + 4*8^2 + 8*0^4.
a(49) = 1 since 12*49+1 = 19^2 + 4*5^2 + 8*2^4.
a(3188) = 1 since 12*3188+1 = 103^2 + 4*80^2 + 8*4^4.
a(3213) = 1 since 12*3213+1 = 91^2 + 4*87^2 + 8*0^4.
a(4230) = 1 since 12*4230+1 = 223^2 + 4*16^2 + 8*1^4.
a(6279) = 1 since 12*6279+1 = 19^2 + 4*75^2 + 8*9^4.
a(25482) = 1 since 12*25482+1 = 531^2 + 4*58^2 + 8*6^4.
