COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1. Moreover, any integer n > 1 can be written as x*(3*x+2) + y*(3*y+2) + 3^z + 3^w, where x is an integer and y,z,w are nonnegative integers.
a(n) > 0 for all n = 2..3*10^8. Those x*(3*x-2) with x integral are called generalized octagonal numbers (A001082). 76683391 is the least integer n > 1 not representable as the sum of two generalized octagonal numbers and two powers of 2.
See also A303389, A303401 and A303432 for similar conjectures.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 1 with 2 = 0*(3*0-2) + 0*(3*0-2) + 3^0 + 3^0.
a(3) = 1 with 3 = 0*(3*0-2) + 1*(3*1-2) + 3^0 + 3^0.
a(4) = 2 with 4 = 1*(3*1-2) + 1*(3*1-2) + 3^0 + 3^0 = 0*(3*0-2) + 0*(3*0-2) + 3^0 + 3^1.
a(5) = 1 with 5 = 0*(3*0-2) + 1*(3*1-2) + 3^0 + 3^1.
a(9) = 1 with 9 = (-1)*(3*(-1)-2) + 0*(3*0-2) + 3^0 + 3^1.
a(4360) = 4 with 4360 = (-35)*(3*(-35)-2) + (-13)*(3*(-13)-2) + 3^0 + 3^4 = (-37)*(3*(-37)-2) + (-7)*(3*(-7)-2) + 3^2 + 3^2 = (-27)*(3*(-27)-2) + (-23)*(3*(-23)-2) + 3^5 + 3^5 = (-25)*(3*(-25)-2) + (-1)*(3*(-1)-2) + 3^5 + 3^7.
