Comments

Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 3.

This is stronger than the author's previous conjecture in A302983. It has been verified that a(n) > 0 for all n = 4..10^9.

Jiao-Min Lin (a student at Nanjing University) has found a counterexample to the conjecture: a(12558941213) = 0. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Jul 30 2022

Example

a(4) = 1 with 4 = 0^2 + 2*0^2 + 3*2^0 + 4^0.
a(5) = 1 with 5 = 1^2 + 2*0^2 + 3*2^0 + 4^0.
a(6) = 1 with 6 = 0^2 + 2*1^2 + 3*2^0 + 4^0.
a(9) = 2 with 9 = 0^2 + 2*1^2 + 3*2^0 + 4^1 = 0^2 + 2*1^2 + 3*2^1 + 4^0.
