Comments

Nontrivial prime powers are A025475 except the first term A025475(1) = 1.

First occurrences of terms bigger than 2: see A225100.

Among first 2^32 terms 16346685 are positive (that is 0.38%).

Among first 2^34 terms 55527808 are positive (0.32%).

Table of n, a(n) for n=0..89.

Example

12 = 2^2 + 2^3, so a(12) = 1.
36 = 32 + 4 = 27 + 9, so a(36) = 2.

Mathematica

nn = 100; p = Sort[Flatten[Table[Prime[n]^i, {n, PrimePi[Sqrt[nn]]}, {i, 2, Log[Prime[n], nn]}]]]; t =Sort[Select[Flatten[Table[p[[i]] + p[[j]], {i, Length[p] - 1}, {j, i + 1, Length[p]}]], # <= nn &]]; Table[Count[t, n], {n, 0, nn}] (* T. D. Noe, Apr 29 2013 *)
