Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13, 29, 76, 1332, 25249.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 1 with 2 = 1 + 1, where 1 = A000073(2) = A000073(3) is a positive tribonacci number, and 1 is also odd and squarefree.
a(29) = 1 since 29 = A000073(8) + 5 with 5 odd and squarefree.
a(76) = 1 since 76 = A000073(6) + 3*23 with 3*23 odd and squarefree.
a(1332) = 1 since 1332 = A000073(7) + 1319 with 1319 odd and squarefree.
a(25249) = 1 since 25249 = A000073(4) + 25247 with 25247 odd and squarefree.
