Comments

A078128(a(n))=1.

Conjecture: the sequence is finite; is a(63)=218 the last entry?

Yes. An argument similar to that in A078136 can be made, based on the identity m = 8*k = k*2^3 = 4^3 + (k-8)*2^3 which enables trading 4^3 for 8 repeats of 2^3. Then, the remaining residue classes m = 8*k+r for r=1..7 can be handled by known representations for m = 145, 226, 91, 172, 189, 118, and 199, respectively. - Sean A. Irvine, Jun 17 2025

Example

72 is not a term, as 72 = 8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8+8 = 8+64.
