Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 0, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 1, 9, 21, 35, 98, 152, 306.

This has been verified for all n = 1..2*10^7.

Conjecture verified up to 10^11. - Mauro Fiorentini, Jul 18 2023

If z >= 0, a(n) = 1 only for n = 21, 35, 98, 306. - Mauro Fiorentini, Jul 20 2023

In contrast with the conjecture, in 2015 the author refined a result of Euler by proving that any positive integer can be written as the sum of two squares and a positive triangular number.

See also A262815, A262816 and A262941 for similar conjectures.

Example

a(1) = 1 since 1 = 0^3 + 0^2 + 1*2/2.
a(2) = 2 since 2 = 0^3 + 1^2 + 1*2/2 = 1^3 + 0^2 + 1*2/2.
a(6) = 2 since 6 = 0^3 + 0^2 + 3*4/2 = 1^3 + 2^2 + 1*2/2.
a(9) = 1 since 9 = 2^3 + 0^2 + 1*2/2.
a(21) = 1 since 21 = 0^3 + 0^2 + 6*7/2.
a(35) = 1 since 35 = 0^3 + 5^2 + 4*5/2.
a(98) = 1 since 98 = 3^3 + 4^2 + 10*11/2.
a(152) = 1 since 152 = 0^3 + 4^2 + 16*17/2.
a(306) = 1 since 306 = 1^3 + 13^2 + 16*17/2.
