Conjecture: We have {a*w^3+b*x^3+c*y^2+d*z^2: w,x,y,z = 0,1,2,...} = {0,1,2,...} if (a,b,c,d) is among the following 63 quadruples:

Conjecture verified up to 10^11 for all quadruples. - Mauro Fiorentini, Jul 18 2023
EXAMPLE
a(7) = 2 since 7 = 1^3 + 2*0^3 + 2^2 + 2*1^2 = 1^3 + 2*1^3 + 2^2 + 2*0^2.
a(15) = 1 since 15 = 1^3 + 2*1^3 + 2^2 + 2*2^2.
