Conjecture: a(n) > 0 for all n > 1, and a(n) = 1 only for n = 2, 6, 20, 26, 40, 82, 89, 105, 305, 416, 470, 725, 6135, 25430, 90285.
Compare this with the conjectures in A262311, A262785 and A262813.
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 1 since 1 = 0^4 + phi(1^2) + 1*2/2.
a(6) = 1 since 6 = 1^4 + phi(2^2) + 2*3/2.
a(20) = 1 since 20 = 2^4 + phi(1^2) + 2*3/2.
a(26) = 1 since 26 = 0^4 + phi(5^2) + 3*4/2.
a(40) = 1 since 40 = 0^4 + phi(6^2) + 7*8/2.
a(82) = 1 since 82 = 0^4 + phi(9^2) + 7*8/2.
a(89) = 1 since 89 = 3^4 + phi(2^2) + 3*4/2.
a(105) = 1 since 105 = 0^4 + phi(14^2) + 6*7/2.
a(305) = 1 since 305 = 4^4 + phi(12^2) + 1*2/2.
a(416) = 1 since 416 = 4^4 + phi(10^2) + 15*16/2.
a(470) = 1 since 470 = 2^4 + phi(12^2) + 28*29/2.
a(725) = 1 since 725 = 2^4 + phi(3^2) + 37*38/2.
a(6135) = 1 since 6135 = 6^4 + phi(81^2) + 30*31/2.
a(25430) = 1 since 25430 = 5^4 + phi(152^2) + 166*167/2.
a(90285) = 1 since 90285 = 16^4 + phi(212^2) + 73*74/2.
