COMMENTS
a(0)=2 because no integer solutions x^5-y^2 = 2;
a(1)=1 because 1=1^5-0^2;
a(2)=7 because 7=2^5-5^2 and 7=8^5-181^2;
a(3)=1044976 because 1044976=16^5-60^2 and 1044976=20^5-1468^2 and 1044976=41^5-10715^2;
a(4)=11331151 because 11331151=35^5-6418^2 and 11331151=40^5-9543^2 and 11331151=56^5-23225^2 and 11331151=386^5-2927305^2.
