%N Least positive integer y such that -n = x^4 - y^3 + z^2 for some positive integers x and z, or 0 if no such y exists.

%C The conjecture in A266152 implies that a(n) > 0 for all n > 0.

%C It seems that a(n) < n*(n+4)/2 for all n > 1.

%H Zhi-Wei Sun, <a href="/A266153/b266153.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e a(1) = 3 since -1 = 1^4 - 3^3 + 5^2.

%e a(2) = 3 since -2 = 2^4 - 3^3 + 3^2.

%e a(11) = 28 since -11 = 5^4 - 28^3 + 146^2.

%e a(20) = 238 since -20 = 32^4 - 238^3 + 3526^2.
