%N Numbers n which are the sum of 3 nonzero 4th powers.

%C Numbers which are in this sequence but not in A047714 must also be the sum of 2 biquadrates, or equal to a fourth power. Among the first 1000 terms of this sequence, this is the case for 4802 = 2*7^4, 57122 = 2*13^4 and 76832 = 2*14^4. - _M. F. Hasler_, Dec 31 2012

%C The union of A047714, A336536, and fourth powers of A003294. - _Robert Israel_, Jul 24 2020

%C As the order of addition doesn't matter we can assume terms are in nondecreasing order. - _David A. Corneth_, Aug 01 2020

%e From _David A. Corneth_, Aug 01 2020: (Start)

%e 194818 is in the sequence as 194818 = 3^4 + 4^4 + 21^4.

%e 480113 is in the sequence as 480113 = 7^4 + 12^4 + 26^4.

%e 693842 is in the sequence as 693842 = 13^4 + 15^4 + 28^4. (End)
